New: Off-road training with MAN ProfiDrive®
New amongst the offerings from MAN ProfiDrive® is an off-road training course with MAN construction-site vehicles. In an extensive gravel quarry, drivers learn how to operate trucks under challenging off-road conditions.
The one-day training course offered by MAN is divided into instruction in theory and practice in driving. Experienced instructors from MAN ProfiDrive® convey the most important aspects of off-road driving. Course participants learn about the different concepts for off-road vehicles with permanent and engageable all-wheel drive. The innovative MAN HydroDrive® system has its own section in the course. In the practical part of the course, participants practice assessing terrain with regard to utilising the different locks on laden and unladen vehicles.
They are faced with various types of topographical formations on the approximately two hectare site in the Landshut region (in Bavaria). On request, topographical formations can be modelled according to requirements. Driving on uphill and downhill gradients, tracks with slopes and articulations are all part of the program, as is getting across sections of ground with varying load-bearing capacities. With its classroom, sanitary facilities, parking spots and vehicle-washing facility, the training site offers the ideal prerequisites and is correspondingly certified. This course is an element of the advanced training courses offered in the framework of the law on professional driver qualification (BKrFQG).
Mastering one's vehicle and being able to act with confidence in critical situations are crucial requirements for a driver when it comes to avoiding accidents. The comprehensive training offerings from MAN ProfiDrive® have precisely this objective and are recognised as statutorily-required advanced training in terms of the law on professional driver qualification (BKrFQG).
