BINTANG BULK MOVERS, MALAYSIA

Increased efficiency thanks to UD Trucks reliability and durability

Malaysian transport company Bintang Bulk Movers is a company steeped in experience. Founded in 1963 with one single cargo lorry used for transports between Kuala Lumpur and Teluk Intan, the company today employs a fleet of more than 300 trucks.

From its early days using only a traditional truck to transport goods from Kuala Lumpur to Teluk Intan to a strong and professional management team with a fleet of 300 trucks, intang Bulk Mover Sdn Bhd has had over 56 years of experience in the transport industry. Currently providing diversified transportation and integrated logistics services in Peninsular Malaysia and cross-border services to Singapore, the company recently purchased a UD Croner equipped with Allison automatic transmission.

Considering the business model of the logistics industry, the company has been seeking newer trucks to replace the older models that require higher maintenance costs and consume more fuel. “As time progresses, the new trucks we are looking for need to be equipped with automatic transmissions and Croner is one such truck. Currently it is mainly used to ferry new cars.

"Trucks with automatic transmissions are easier to drive and this helps to reduce the driver’s mental fatigue and allow them to perform more efficiently,” said Executive Director Mr. KH Yap.

“There is no denying that trucks have evolved. In addition to the development of automatic transmissions, safety equipment and the creation of a more comfortable cabin, are all necessary conditions for a modern truck. Our company also considers whether the after-sales service provided by the vehicle supplier could satisfy a large traffic fleet. We have seen the advantages of UD trucks especially in the reliability and durability aspect.” he continued.

Upon driving the Croner for three months Mr. Kharudin Assar shared that, “This was the first time I drove a truck with auto transmission and the Croner’s overall performance was excellent and easy to control with smooth gear shifting. I could feel that the engine provides powerful horsepower and torque output especially when going up gradients. With the auto transmission, it highly reduces driver fatigue and increases driving safety as I do not need to change gears frequently by using the clutch. Besides this, it also provides high fuel efficiency to lower operational costs compared to the truck I drove earlier. I feel happy that the company has chosen a good truck for us to drive.”

“We will continue to support UDTrucks, and look forward to its upcoming new models,” Mr. KH Yap concluded.
