Scania Commercial Vehicles has inked an exclusive partnership with PPS Motors, designating them as the sole representative for Scania’s mining tippers in India. This collaboration ensures all-India coverage for sales and service operations.
The CV maker says it provides tailor-made solutions by detecting, analysing, and continuously optimising critical points of the mine that lead to higher availability, increased productivity, and better customer profitability. This new collaboration is said to be Scania’s commitment to network expansion in India and advanced customer support.
Johan P Schlyter, MD, Scania Commercial Vehicles India said, “Through the recent signing of an agreement with PPS Motors, we’ve laid the foundation for an impactful alliance focused on our mining tippers segment in India. By leveraging our cutting-edge technology, we are optimistic about making a substantial contribution to India’s efforts in reaching its net-zero emission goal.”
PPS Motors has established 6 regional warehouses across India, which has close proximity to the mining sites and strategically connected to Scania’s central warehouse in Nagpur, creating a robust hub-and-spoke model. This the partners says will ensure smooth, uninterrupted, and swift supply chain for parts. In addition, three workshops, meeting Scania’s global mining standards and staffed by skilled technician and nine mobile service vans are in place to ensure efficient handling of major repairs, aggregate repairs, accident repairs, and overhauling.
Rajiv Sanghvi, MD, PPS Motors said, “We are happy to partner with Scania as their exclusive distributor for their mining trucks business in India. The response and the trust that the customers have shown on the Scania Products and services has been overwhelming. We are constantly in touch with our prospective and existing customers to understand their requirements to provide a customised ecosystem of products and services at site throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle. Further we are investing in creating additional touch points providing deeper and wider coverage.”
Globally, Scania says it has demonstrated expertise in technologies like electric mobility & renewable fuels, autonomous solutions, safety systems and connectivity. It has successfully implemented the technologies in India and is delivering advanced vehicles and services designed to support businesses in optimising their operations and efficiency.
