KUALA LUMPUR: TENAGA NASIONAL BHD [] (TNB) is investing more than RM120 million to replace its fleet of 1,720 ageing vehicles over three years.
President and Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Seri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh said on Monday, July 12 all "problem" trucks would be sold.
The replacement exercise he added, would be undertaken in three phases. TNB has as of now, replaced 521 vehicles at an investment of about RM50 million.
Che Khalid said the reliability and efficiency of the fleet was crucial because any delay in operations due to a breakdown or lack of performance could affect the service provided to customers.
"The purchases are necessary to replace vehicles that consistently break down and to also enhance TNB's productivity.
"Most of the vehicles are between 10 to 15 years old and incur a high maintenance cost. So, we feel the time has come to replace all," he told reporters.
The vehicles will be supplied by DRB-HICOM BHD []'s subsidiaries, Automotive Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd and EON Auto Mart Sdn Bhd.
With TNB being a 24-hour, high-pressure operation, there is much demand placed on its vehicles and drivers.
"We believe these new models will give unprecedented levels of reliability and a reduced operational costs while helping us to deliver significant operational savings," he added.
TNB, he said, was also allocating RM25 million for tools. - Bernama
