MAN Training Program For Fuel Economy & Driving Safety

MAN Truck and Bus (M) Sdn Bhd (MTBM) announced that it is introducing a new training program, MAN ProfiDrive that is tailored towards individual customer requirements. The new sector-specific training helps address fuel economy and driving safety for particular transport assignments.

Hartmut Mueller, Managing Director of MAN Truck and Bus (M) Sdn Bhd said, “This new training program that focuses on the customer’s specific transport task enables us to more effectively help our customers lower their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). By equipping drivers with better vehicle handling and economical driving techniques, the training can help cut back on fuel consumption by as much as 10 percent and reduce the need for constant vehicle maintenance.”

The majority of the sector-specific ProfiDrive training for the drivers is hands-on and carried out with the drivers’ own loaded vehicles, which further increases the long-term learning effect of the training. The program can be conducted at any location and covers both practical driving skills as well as theoretical aspects of safety, economy and vehicle inspection.

With safety as a focal point in the ProfiDrive training, drivers are not only taught safe driving principles and given comprehensive knowledge on tyres, gearboxes and axles, safety regulations and accident prevention, they are also equipped with practical driving skills such as how to manage critical driving situations and handle different road surfaces; avoid obstacles; perform emergency braking and evasive maneuvers, among others.
