Iveco has helped improve road safety and driving standards in Ghana by donating a Stralis to the country’s driver vehicle licensing authority to be used as a training vehicle.
The truck will be used to support both practical driver assessments and instructor development and will serve as a vehicle for examiner training as well as the practical assessment of F-Class licence applicants.
Annalisa Citterio, head of sustainability at Iveco Group – a corporate partner of international charity Transaid – said: “Standing alongside local communities, understanding their needs, and providing concrete support represent a fundamental commitment for us.
“Our partnership with Transaid reaffirms our aim to generate tangible impact on the ground by promoting training, road safety awareness, and high professional standards for drivers and local stakeholders.”
Transaid project manager Thelma Ayisi said: “Improving road safety requires more than stronger laws or better infrastructure.
“It requires competent, well trained professional drivers, robust licensing systems and institutions equipped to uphold high standards.”
Previously, Iveco has donated three new Daily vans to support an access to healthcare project in Ghana and an on/off-road Trakker to help with the post-Tsunami clean-up in Sri Lanka.
