Scandinavia Express Services purchased its first coach from Scania Tanzania Limited in 1982. We now have almost 100 coaches, all built by Scania. Most vehicles were imported from Brazil with bodies built by Marcopolo Limited. Some moderately styled coach bodies were also built in East Africa

Using only Scania coaches has enabled the company to standardise maintenance and spares. Our technical staff are therefore very proficient and can maintain the fleet at the highest standard. This ensures an optimum level of safety and reliability for all our passengers.

Most coaches operated by Scandinavia Express Services have air-conditioning, whilst the super luxury coaches also have toilet facilities. It should be noted that our coach classifications are based on comparison with other modes of public transport in the region. However our super-deluxe and deluxe classifications compare favourably with international styles.

Unlike some international counterparts, all our coaches have:
Seat belts.
TV and video facilities.
Music system.
High frequency radio communication equipment.
Speed governor.
Computerized fleet management system to monitor the driver, the vehicle performance and manoeuvres throughout the journey. All speed limits are strictly adhered to and there are no un-necessary stops.
Global positioning system (GPS) facilities are being installed across the fleet. This sophisticated satellite tracking system enables the precise geographical position of each bus to be monitored at all times. The system can also detect whether the bus is stationary, in motion and at what speed it is travelling.
