Scania Commercial Vehicles India, a leading commercial vehicles and
engines manufacturer, has delivered the first
Scania Metrolink Coaches in Kerala to Aeon Connect Travels. These buses will
connect travellers from Ernakulam to Hyderabad.
Sivakumar V, Sales Director, Scania Commercial Vehicles India said, “This handover confirms
Scania’s ability to offer comprehensive solutions for a broad range of
passenger transport needs and the entry
of Scania in Kerala. Our vehicles are recognised for their safety, high
level of uptime and efficiency in fuel consumption, important features for a
quality public transportation system.”
Aeon Connect Travels has been founded by Aby George, first time
entrepreneur and businessman from Indore with interests in construction. He has
been the brainchild of a number of projects in Indore. His passion and vision
to provide good quality transportation systems led him to initiate the
Greenfield project of Aeon Connect Travels in Kerala. While the initial service
will focus on one route, Aeon Connect Travels will eventually be connecting
many more routes from Kerala to the rest of the country.
Scania has established a
relationship with EVM Motors, an exclusive dealer in Kerala for haulage trucks and
buses. Today the EVM Group has gone on to become one of the most established
dealerships for large organizations. The group has experienced rapid growth and
innovative excellence under the leadership of Sabu Johny, Managing
Director, EVM group and Jimmy Jose, Managing Partner, EVM Heavy Commercial
Vehicles.
Launched at Busworld in Mumbai February last year, the Scania
Intercity Coach range introduces highly reliable multi-purpose coaches for
medium and long distance luxury travel for the Indian market. These luxury
coaches are the product of knowledge gathered from studying the needs of
long-distance bus passengers in India. Scania Metrolink HD is based on renowned
Scania virtues such as robust design, maximum passenger and driver safety and
comfort, leading fuel economy and a long and trouble-free service life.
