SHEIKHUPURA: Reinforcing a shared commitment to enhancing road safety on national highways and motorways, Total PARCO Pakistan Limited (Total PARCO) and the National Highways & Motorway Police (NH&MP) inaugurated a heavy transport vehicle (HTV) simulator facility at the Motorway Police Training Center in Sheikhupura.
The facility simulates real-world scenarios such as road tire bursts, rollovers and driving challenges in heavy traffic and poor weather conditions, providing drivers with a better understanding on how to react in emergency situations.
Total PARCO’s investment in the HTV simulator facility is in line with the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with the NH&MP in 2017. Under the terms of the MOU, Total PARCO was to provide a video simulator and other related training equipment to support the training courses, seminars on traffic rules and highway safety being conducted at the training centre, particularly for heavy vehicle drivers transporting fuels and oil products. In addition, Total PARCO would continue to provide support through the sharing of resources and expertise for promoting a safety culture among the drivers being trained at the training centre. The ongoing partnership with NH&MP demonstrates Total PARCO’s desire to make a positive impact on the country in line with its societal responsibility on road safety.
The inauguration ceremony was led by NH&MP Inspector General Muhammad Aamir Zulfiqar Khan, Total Marketing & Services Senior Vice-President Asia-Pacific Middle East Christian Cabrol, South Pacific and Indian Ocean Vice President Olivier Chalvon-Demersay, and Total PARCO Pakistan General Manager Olivier Sabrie.
