Munckhof strengthens focus on road safety with e-Driver pilot

Road safety has been one of Munckhof's key priorities for many years. To ensure that this topic remains top of mind for drivers, Munckhof is launching a pilot program called e-Driver in collaboration with Verkeersveiligheid Groep Nederland, a specialist in interactive road safety training.

More than 50 drivers are participating in the pilot, including taxi drivers from all Munckhof taxi branches and several coach drivers from Munckhof Reizen Horst. They are following a program consisting of various interactive videos. Once every six weeks, participants receive a short, stimulating training video with challenging questions. The videos aim to actively involve drivers in important safety aspects of their daily work.

Continued focus on road safety

Senior Operations Manager Edwin Besseling is looking forward to the start of the pilot: "At Munckhof, we consider road safety to be an essential responsibility. The e-Driver program helps us ensure that our drivers remain constantly alert to safe driving behavior and are aware of the risks on the road. The interactive videos encourage drivers to think about current safety issues and keep their knowledge up to date."

Duration of the pilot

The pilot will last four to six months, after which the results will be carefully analyzed. “The selected drivers were invited via a newsletter from our managers and come from all our taxi branches and Munckhof Reizen Horst. Their experiences and feedback play an important role in the evaluation of the program. Depending on the results, we will consider whether to roll out the program further within Munckhof,” says Besseling.

Collaboration with e-Driver

“Our choice of e-Driver is based on their extensive experience in developing interactive safety programs. Their approach encourages active involvement from drivers, which is essential for maintaining a strong safety awareness. With this pilot, Munckhof is once again emphasizing the importance of road safety for our employees, our passengers, and other road users. By investing in innovative solutions such as this, we continue to strive for the highest safety standards within our company."

Pride

e-Driver is also proud to be working with Munckhof on this pilot. “This initiative not only contributes to the safety of their drivers, but also enhances the safety of their passengers and fellow road users. Together, we are taking steps towards a safer environment for everyone on the road,” says Collin Bell of Verkeersveiligheid Groep Nederland.
