Synopsis

Terberg Tractors Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (TTM) is a 50:50 joint venture between Terberg Group B.V. and Sime Darby Industrial Sdn. Bhd. (SDI). Terberg Group B.V. is a 140-year-old group of companies specialising in design and manufacture of special vehicles based in The Netherlands. TTM was established in 2005 to develop the Asia Pacific market for Terberg terminal tractors Model YT180 and 220. Currently, more than 1,000 units of terminal tractors have been sold to various ports’ operators in over 45 countries. TTM had recently introduced a Lifecycle Maintenance Contract system that offers its customers a hassle-free and a more cost-efficient way of managing and maintaining their fleet. Through a one-time agreement, customers can be relieved of a cost base of maintaining spare parts inventories and maintenance management for the tractor’s lifespan. TTM’s Lifecycle Contracts approach puts it at the forefront of the industry, giving the company a lead in pricing and a competitive edge by helping their customers manage cost. TTM acquired SDI’s manufacturing arm, Terberg Manufacturing & Assembly Sdn Bhd in Pasir Gudang in 2013 and since then, has increased the facility’s manufacturing capacity from 4 units per week to 16 units per week. The company is confident that it will be able to produce up to 4,000 units by 2018. TTM’s terminal tractors produced in Pasir Gudang are marketed to over 46 countries.

Recently, TTM secured a “crown jewel” contract with Port of Singapore Authority (PSA). The company will supply the majority of PSA’s fleet, which makes it the largest single order in the history for Terberg worldwide. PSA is renowned for its demand for stringent quality standards and after-sales support, and this contract reflects its trust in TTM and the Terberg brand. Terberg recently also launched its first made in Malaysia autonomous terminal tractor which is the first in the world.

The objective of this technical visit is to focus on the innovative advancements in the field of special vehicles, specifically addressing the challenges and opportunities in enhancing structural integrity and promoting sustainability. This exposure will help engineers to understand the application of such engineering work in their field of practice or in their existing business. We are pleased to invite all members to participate in this visit. Details listed as follows:
