In helping to promote its road safety advocacy, Isuzu PH recently holds a Truck Training series at the BMD Seed Farm in Aurora, Isabela.
The event, which formed part of IPC’s consistent thrust in promoting road safety, was attended by representatives of companies in the Isabela and Cagayan areas operating fleets of heavy-duty Isuzu trucks.
According to Isuzu, “The latest Isuzu Truck Training activity basically duplicated the one IPC conducted at Honda Safety Driving Center. But in an effort to cater to its fleet customers who cannot attend the sessions in Metro Manila, IPC decided to expand the training series to regions outside of the capital. Supplementing the program are special training sessions conducted on the site of fleet customers who request for them.
Showcased in the latest edition of the Isuzu Truck Fest are the “Trucks for Life” models of IPC, which were presented in a diverse range of applications and sizes. Regardless of the model, however, all the trucks displayed were designed to address the various mobility requirements of businesses in the area.
The seminar involved both classroom lectures and discussions, as well as the actual operation of the vehicles. Included in the sessions are lessons on the application of Isuzu’s 7-speed and 16-speed transmissions, fuel-efficient and safe driving techniques, and daily inspection of vehicles. Used in the driver training session were the Isuzu EXR, which has a 7-speed transmission, and the Isuzu EXZ, which is equipped with a 16-speed transmission. For lessons regarding vehicle inspection, an EXR tractor head was made available.
As a part of its after-sales program for fleet customers, IPC conducts the training series FREE of Charge.
