MAN Truck and Bus Middle East recently held its first ever Road Safety Event in Abu Dhabi in collaboration with the police authority in the UAE capital as well as RoadSafetyUAE, one of the country’s leading campaigners for road safety
During the event, representatives from both the private and public sector were presented with a compelling and educational overview of how they can help the UAE to continue on its aim of reducing its road fatalities to three deaths per 100,000 population annually by 2021.
According to MAN Truck and Bus Middle East’s managing director Franz Freiherr von Redwitz there is no one size fits all approach to saving lives on the road.
Instead, there needs to be adherence to regulations, greater education and better use of the technology that is available.
Freiherr von Redwitz describes MAN Truck and Bus’ role goes beyond providing vehicles with state of the art safety features.
“With its global expertise in the field of vehicle safety and road safety, MAN can contribute in a number of ways in enhancing road safety in the UAE – such as supporting the introduction of road transport regulations, providing training and education for transport operators and enforcement officers, and supporting the introduction of mandatory vehicle specification standards for new product deliveries.”
