Scania had received orders for 14 buses from Hebron Transports, eight buses from Transit Logistics and 20 from Kaushik Global Logistics (KGL). With the delivery of these buses to Transit Logistics, Scania completes its entry into the state of Telangana as well.

The Metrolink buses, according to the company, are equipped with safety features such as Fleet Management System (FMS), speed limit compliant to state regulations, six emergency exits with twelve hammers, emergency doors, 100 per cent fire retardant bus body, and Blended Retarder – a technology that keeps the service breaks cold for full emergency performance.
