PHH Arval and The Center for Transportation Safety Host Risk and Safety Symposium in Calgary
November 15, 2010
Jim Halliday, President of PHH Canada, introduced Western Canadian fleet professionals to The Center for Transportation Safety (CTS), a new division of PHH Arval. CTS provides fleets with comprehensive behind-the-wheel and other driver training solutions, and PHH acquired its unique capabilities last summer to enhance its industry-leading position in risk and safety solutions.
Symposium attendees test drove heavy truck and passenger vehicle simulators aboard CTS’ mobile driver training classroom, affording the opportunity to duplicate and simulate driving situations that are normally too dangerous, too expensive or impossible to duplicate in the real world. CTS professionals led participants through safe skid maneuvers aboard a specialized skid vehicle, emergency braking and evasive maneuvers, backing, and mirror and seat adjustments.
Penn West Energy’s Mike Breward said, “It’s a good skill to know. It’s something that everybody should have the ability to practice in a controlled setting. It’s not the time to do it when you’re on the highway skidding across the road.”
In addition to these behind-the-wheel experiences, PHH Arval hosted a Ride and Drive; an expo featuring PHH’s online driver training, telematics and technology capabilities; and exhibits from numerous automotive supplier partners.
A similar risk and safety symposium is scheduled for Tuesday, November 30, in
