In the world of transportation, the latest generation of trucks are equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These systems are essential for preventing serious accidents and ensuring the safety of drivers

At Hödlmayr, in collaboration with Digitrans, we held an ADAS training course on the test track for autonomous driving for the first time.

Our goal? To equip drivers not only with theoretical knowledge, but also with practical experience in dealing with these systems. 12 driver trainers from different countries took part to deepen their knowledge of sensors and assistance systems. Practical tests on the test track enabled them to operate the latest assistance systems safely.

Christian Wansch, Team Leader Driver Support at Hödlmayr Logistics GmbH, emphasizes:

"The tests and driving maneuvers at the Digitrans test center for autonomous driving helped us significantly to better understand the driver assistance systems in our truck and to be able to operate them with confidence. The practical tests were particularly helpful in gaining confidence and safety in dealing with the latest assistance systems. Ongoing driver training is crucial for Hödlmayr in order to ensure the continuous development and safety of our drivers."

Hödlmayr relies on continuous driver training to ensure the safety of our drivers and to further develop their skills in dealing with advanced assistance systems.
