Five DAF driver trainers have become the latest group to successfully complete the company's dealer driver trainer programme.

Throughout 2016, DAF Trucks has been delivering a series of intensive learning programmes to driver trainers at its academy, and 23 fully-qualified employees are now able to provide driver training at each of its 34 sales locations.

The training programme has been funded and delivered in a joint endeavour by DAF Trucks and the DAF dealer network.

Mandy Wannerton, commercial trainer at DAF Trucks, said: “While modern commercial vehicles are becoming easier to drive, the many technological advances and driver aids mean subtle changes to driving style can have a large effect on performance."
