MAN unveils innovative trucking solutions
DUBAI, May 20, 2015
Experts from MAN Truck and Bus, one of the leading suppliers of commercial vehicles and transport solutions worldwide, shared innovative solutions and practices to improving road safety management in the UAE at a seminar in Dubai.
The seminar held recently was in support of the UAE government’s 2021 road safety vision which aims to reduce the road deaths in the emirates.
MAN said it is working along with the government and other stakeholders to achieve the UAE's objective of reducing road deaths to three deaths per 100,000 population, thereby placing the UAE among the top five safest countries in the world according to World Health Organisation rankings.
A highlight at the seminar, which was organised as part of the Dubai Chamber sustainability network road safety campaign ‘Be Responsible – Drive Safe’, was MAN's ProfiDrive training which is a specialised programme designed to raise the level of best driving practices.
The training helps drivers learn predictive driving techniques such as how to recognise dangerous situations, calculate the optimum stopping distance and evade obstacles that suddenly emerge.-TradeArabia News Service
