Scania, the Swedish-based manufacturer of trucks and buses, will soon kick off its selection process in 40 countries on five continents, aimed at identifying the world`s best truck drivers.
Scania`s Young European Truck Driver competition has evolved into a global event. Scania will also organize seminars in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), which has road safety as a theme in 2007.
“The driver is absolutely the most important factor in heavy vehicle transport services. Vehicles and infrastructure are obviously of major significance, but road safety is primarily a matter of human behavior. By means of these competitions, we want to help raise the status of professional drivers and emphasize their great importance to both road safety and the profitability of transport companies. We want to help attract more young, capable drivers into the transport business,” says Cecilia Edström, Scania`s senior vice president of corporate communications.
