The Foundation of the Finest Journeys in Indonesia

Tourists in Indonesia increasingly want safe, comfortable, and memorable travel experiences, which is constantly changing the country’s tourism industry. Tour coach operators recognize that the key to exceptional service lies in the chassis—the foundation that keeps them ahead in a highly competitive market. The quality of the chassis immediately affects the stability, smoothness of the ride, and safety of the passengers as it serves as the main structure that supports the whole vehicle. So, choosing the right chassis is no longer merely a technical decision; it’s also a significant strategic investment in a company’s reputation and long-term success.

The Trans-Java toll road and other quickly built infrastructure demonstrate the importance of reliable, high-quality chassis for long-distance travel. Scania, a leading Swedish manufacturer, perfectly meets this market demand and is the ideal solution. Scania always sets the standard for engineering, efficiency, and safety with the goal of “Driving the Shift towards a Sustainable Transport System.” Since 2004, PT United Tractors Tbk (UT) has been the first company in Indonesia to show off Scania’s quality. UT goes beyond selling products — it builds partnerships by solving challenges together, embodying the spirit of ‘Moving as One’.

A Close Look at the Scania K410CB-6×2*4: The Best Choice for Tourism Fleets

The Scania K410CB-6×2*4 is a well-known name in Indonesia’s tourism and Inter-City Inter-Province (AKAP) segments when it comes to premium bus chassis. This chassis, distributed by United Tractors, belongs to the latest generation of Scania buses and stands as the successor to the legendary Scania K410IB. Engineered with an ideal balance of power, efficiency, and versatility, the chassis is purpose-built for heavy-duty operations and long-distance travel, making it a compelling choice for demanding applications.

Core Performance and a Strong Engine

The strong DC13 6-cylinder inline engine with a size of 13,000 cc is what makes the Scania K410CB-6×2*4 work. At 1,900 rpm, this engine can produce a peak power of 410 HP (Horsepower), which is equivalent to 302 kW. But its real strength is its massive torque of 2,150 Nm, available across a low engine speed range of 1,000 to 1,300 rpm. This feature, with peak torque at low rpm, is essential for tour coach operations. It means the bus can accelerate smoothly and powerfully without putting too much strain on the engine. This makes it perfect for ascending high mountain roads, which are typically part of tourist routes. It also gets better gas mileage on toll roads.

Strong Structure and Better Capacity

The 6×2*4 chassis layout shows that the vehicle has three axles, with the last one being a steerable tag axle. This feature makes the bus much easier to drive, which is a big plus for a lengthy vehicle that has to navigate packed airports or narrow streets.

This chassis has a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of up to 26,500 kg (26.5 tonnes), which makes it a firm base. Bus operators can fit many kinds of high-capacity premium bus bodies, such as Super High Decker (SHD) and Double Decker, due to their high GVW. The availability of chassis like the K410CB-6×2*4 not only meets the need for double-decker buses, but it also helps this trend grow in Indonesia, allowing operators to maximise passenger capacity and offer a unique travel experience.

Dedication to the Environment and Efficiency

The K410CB-6×2*4 chassis satisfies the strict Euro 5 emission criteria, which is in line with Scania’s global ambition. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology is an innovative system that injects AdBlue fluid into the exhaust gas stream to neutralize harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx). This makes the system compliant. This Euro 5 technology is good for the environment and has two benefits. The SCR system controls emissions separately, allowing the engine to be fully optimized for efficient combustion. This means that the engine will use less gasoline. This shows that being responsible for the environment and making money can be mutually beneficial. The chassis is also designed to run on biofuels up to B100, indicating it is ready for the future of renewable energy.

Thre Main Advantages of Scania Chassis: Comfort, Efficiency, and Advanced Technology

The advantages of the Scania K410CB-6×2*4 lie not only because in its technical specs on paper, but in how every components is engineered to work in synergy, delivering a complete, holistic experience. These three pillars are interconnected, creating a design philosophy that sets Scania apart in its class.

1. The most comfortable ride for drivers and passengers

In the tour coach business, comfort is the most important thing. Scania fully understands this and shows it through several new technologies.

• Advanced Air Suspension: Each axle on this chassis features a comprehensive air suspension system. This system actively absorbs shocks and vibrations from bumpy roads, making the ride very smooth and stable. This means passengers will be less tired on long trips and feel they are receiving better service.
• Scania Opticruise Transmission: One of Scania’s most important technologies is the Opticruise GRS895R automatic gearbox. It is a cutting-edge system that uses electro-hydraulic clutch control to deliver very smooth, accurate gear shifts. This makes the cabin quiet and comfortable for passengers by eliminating the frequent bumps that are common in manual buses. This technology makes the driver’s job much easier, allowing them to pay more attention to the road and making everyone safer.
• Ergonomic Driver Area: Scania puts a lot of thought into the driver’s workspace. The dashboard is designed to be comfortable, the instrument panel is easy to reach, and there are several ways to adjust steering and seat settings so the driver can work in the best conditions. For long-distance travel, the driver must be able to stay awake and remain safe.

2. Smart Efficiency for Making Money in Business

The Scania K410CB-6×2*4 is a great business asset because it works so well and will continue to do so for a long time.

• Superior Fuel Efficiency: The combination of the high-torque-at-low-revs engine character, the Euro 5 emission system with SCR technology, and the intelligent shift patterns of the Opticruise transmission results in best-in-class fuel efficiency. Savings in fuel costs directly increase the bus operator’s profit margin.
• Durability and Reliability: Scania chassis are renowned for their durability and long-lasting performance, thanks to high-quality materials and adherence to strict Swedish technical requirements. This chassis is a good “long-term investment asset” because it might last for decades. Its excellent reliability also means repairs take less time, increasing the fleet’s productivity.

3. Advanced Technology for Maximum Safety

Safety is a must. The Scania K410CB-6×2*4 has a full range of active and passive safety features that work together to keep passengers, the driver, and the vehicle safe.

• Advanced Braking System: The bus has an Electronic Braking System (EBS) and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) that ensure it can brake safely, steadily, and effectively in all weather and at all speeds.
• Maintained Vehicle Stability: The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) monitors the car and helps prevent skidding or loss of control during quick turns or on slick roads. This feature is essential for high-body buses, such as double-deckers. It works with an Overturn Protection function to lower the chance of them rolling over.
• Driver Assistance: The Hill Hold feature keeps the bus in place while it is stopped on an uphill, making it easier and safer for the driver. The R3500 hydraulic retarder, on the other hand, is an extra braking system that takes some of the strain off the main brakes during long descents. This keeps brake temperatures optimal, improves driving safety, and lowers the cost of brake maintenance.

In a Scania chassis, comfort, efficiency, and safety are not three different things. They are an ecology that helps each other. The Opticruise gearbox, which makes driving more comfortable, also makes it safer and more efficient. The air suspension keeps the vehicle stable and secure while providing a comfortable ride. This shows that the design philosophy is mature and holistic.
