AIR21 advocates safe driving with the aid of technology

AIR21, your total logistics solutions provider, promotes responsible and defensive driving among employees with its recently launched, Vehicle Simulator Training, facilitated by the AIR21 Academy of Developmental Logistics.

The program uses state-ofthe-art TranSimTM Simulator to replicate an actual commercial vehicle driving compartment that will accurately simulate the vehicle’s physical and functional characteristics. It provides hands-on, experiential training for commercial drivers, offering experience without risks to people or equipment. This is the country’s first driver training simulator.

This technology can record the driver’s reactions and response times, and provide after-action reviews that point out performance improvement areas for each driver. This training approach will improve critical driving skills, enhance decision-making abilities, and increase the safety of staff and the areas where AIR21 operates.

“Our goal is to provide drivers, and eventually all transport operators across the Philippines, with an enticing alternative to an actual commercial driving experience without endangering lives, equipment and property,” said Samuel Bautista, Director of AIR21 Academy of Developmental Logistics.

According to the data recorded by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), more than 110,00 cases of road accidents were reported in 2016.

As an innovative logistics leader, AIR21 continually searches for the best technologies, both here and abroad, to deliver better service while ensuring package security and road safety.
