In today's dynamic business world, the constant pursuit of innovation and efficiency is essential to stand out and evolve. In that context, MAXIRent has demonstrated its commitment to excellence by adding a revolutionary tool to its arsenal: a state-of-the-art driving simulator. The strategic acquisition was made in partnership with APEX, a leading developer of simulation technology.
A BIG STORY IN A SHORT TIME
MaxiEscuela Vial was born in late 2019 as an operational strategy to lower our clients' accident rates — and with it, the unbudgeted expenses those accidents generate — while providing greater mobility nationwide.
Through the road safety training we delivered, accident rates dropped in some cases by 40% to as much as 60%.
As part of our drive for innovation and continuous improvement, we set out to research the newest technologies available, looking to offer clients a value-added service that would deliver an operation free of accidents and damage — and therefore more profitable.
On October 20 of this year we acquired the road safety simulator we've named Maxirent Driving Experience, with the goal of improving our clients' driving habits through high-impact training that builds real awareness for preventing road accidents, damage from poor vehicle handling, and fines.
Daniel AriasHead of Vehicle Control & Road Safety, MAXIRent.The crown jewel of this new deployment is its exceptional mobility: the simulator is built into a MAXIRent van. The initiative reflects MAXIRent's vision of boosting productivity and making learning easier at its renowned MaxiEscuela. Through this synergy between MAXIRent and APEX, a horizon of opportunities opens up to improve driver training and raise safety and efficiency standards across the industry. In this article, we explore the benefits and strategic vision behind an innovative investment that redefines the limits of driver education in the sector.
SIMULATOR BENEFITS
- Safe training: Simulators let drivers practice in a controlled, safe environment before facing real situations on the road, helping reduce accident risk and improve road safety.
- Cost reduction: Practicing in a virtual environment cuts the costs associated with real vehicles, fuel and maintenance.
- Practice for specific situations: Simulators can recreate a wide variety of driving conditions, including emergencies, adverse weather and heavy traffic, letting drivers build and refine their skills across many circumstances.
- Performance evaluation: Simulators typically include assessment tools that measure driver performance, helping identify improvement areas and tailor training to individual needs.
- Lower environmental impact: Using simulators instead of real vehicles helps reduce the carbon footprint and environmental impact of driver training.
