    Mercedes-Benz #actros 2545
  • Daniel Autmaring, Junior Manager at Verkehrsakademie Münsterland: "The new #actros has the potential to sustainably draw in young new drivers."

Ibbenbüren – At times when it's hard to motivate people to become professional drivers, the importance of driving schools is well and truly in the spotlight. After all, they are exactly where potential new drivers can be convinced to take their first practical lesson and subsequently get into a career behind the wheel. But to do that, they don't just need motivated and motivating trainers but also ground-breaking training trucks. That's why the Verkehrsakademie Münsterland (VAM) driver training school in Ibbenbüren has put its faith in the new #MercedesBenz #actros. Since January, trainees can practice their inter-city, motorway and night-time drives behind the wheel of the top model from #MercedesBenz Trucks.

Depending on whether the lesson concerns driving licence classes C or CE, the driving school's #actros 2545 is configured either as a rigid vehicle or as a drawbar combination. An additional centre seat allows the driving instructor to sit close to the learner – something of particular importance during the first few lessons. In front of the centre seat, the footwell houses a full set of instructor pedals – just like on the co-driver's side – to ensure the instructor can intervene where necessary. Plus, budding drivers and participants in advanced training courses can also learn how to use all of the assistance systems which are available for the new #actros: from the new MirrorCam to the extended Predictive Powertrain Control cruise control and transmission management system, as well as the equally new Active Drive Assist which enables partially autonomous driving.

Learners are enthusiastic about getting to grips with the assistance systems

"As soon as the participants have become familiar with these systems, they're generally very excited about them and quickly see the advantage of using them," says Daniel Autmaring, Junior Manager at Verkehrsakademie Münsterland. "Especially the younger generation tends to be tech-savvy and willing to try out the assistance systems with enthusiasm. Plus they also feel very much at home when they get into the newly designed cab of the new #actros with its two digital cockpit displays. That's why the new #actros training vehicle has a lot of potential to attract young hopefuls sustainably into a driving career – a job which now offers talented beginners very good perspectives."

Daniel Wichmann is an especially good example of this. The 25-year-old completed both his CE-class driving licence and his professional driver qualification with VAM. Today, he works as a driver for the affiliated transport company and also co-ordinates the maintenance of the driving school's fleet of seven trucks – all of which are from #MercedesBenz. Wichmann was the first employee to recently participate in a company-internal advanced training course on the new #actros, headed up by one of the company's experienced driver trainers.
