Grupo Traxión kicked off its first road safety and training week, combining classroom instruction with hands-on practice on the latest APEX driving simulators. The goal: sharpen defensive driving knowledge and skills while improving road safety and fuel economy.
The simulator recreates real accidents from the fleet's daily operation, showing drivers exactly how each one could have been avoided — eliminating weaknesses behind the wheel and maximizing safety and confidence.
The training program covers:
- Fuel-efficient driving techniques.
- Road safety education.
- Risk situations and risk factors.
- The operator's professional image, personal development, values, and family.
The simulator recreates scenarios such as:
- The effects of alcohol and fatigue behind the wheel.
- The consequences of cell phone use.
- The risks of speeding.
- Safe driving in rain, fog, hail, and snow.
- Accidents, blowouts, and mechanical failures.
- Road obstacles such as pedestrians and cyclists.
- Rear-end scenarios, lane invasions, cut-offs, and collisions with fixed objects.
