TECHNICAL
CONSISTENCY
Scandinavia Express
Services purchased its first coach from Scania Tanzania Limited in 1982. We
now have almost 100 coaches, all built by Scania. Most vehicles were
imported from Brazil with bodies built by Marcopolo Limited. Some moderately styled
coach bodies were also built in East Africa.
Using only Scania
coaches has enabled the company to standardise maintenance and spares. Our
technical staff are therefore very proficient and can maintain the fleet
at the highest standard. This ensures an optimum level of safety and reliability for all our
passengers.
OUR FLEET
Most coaches operated by
Scandinavia Express
Services
have air-conditioning, whilst the super luxury
coaches also have toilet facilities. It should be noted that our coach classifications
are based on comparison with other modes of public transport
in the region. However our super-deluxe and deluxe classifications compare
favourably with international styles.
Unlike some international counterparts, all
our coaches have:
-
Seat belts.
-
TV and video facilities.
-
Music system.
-
High frequency radio communication equipment.
-
Speed governor.
-
Computerized fleet management system to monitor the
driver, the vehicle performance and manoeuvres throughout the journey.
All speed limits are strictly adhered to and there are no un-necessary stops.
-
Global positioning system (GPS) facilities are being
installed across the fleet. This sophisticated satellite tracking system
enables the precise geographical position of each bus to be monitored at
all times. The
system can also detect whether the bus is stationary, in motion and at what speed it is travelling.
