Coal mining services contractor PT Bukit Makmur Mandiri Utama (BUMA) has decided to invest in 266 Scania trucks over the next five years, at a value of approximately US$ 30 million.
Scania said in a statement Tuesday that the order includes parts and maintenance contracts and will be delivered by it?s partner in Indonesia PT United Tractors.
?By utilizing our experience from lean production and continuous improvement, we intend to help BUMA to improve its mining operations across Indonesia.?
In the face of tough competition from other manufacturers, Scania was chosen as the supplier of transport solutions to Indonesian mining operator BUMA. Scania said the order comprises 266 trucks, plus parts and services on site over the next five years and is worth approximately $30 million.
The order includes Scania P 410 8x4 and R 580 6x4 models. The vehicles and services will be delivered by United Tractors, Scania?s partner in Indonesia. In August 2016, the first 14 vehicles were delivered, and another 86 vehicles will be delivered in 2016.
