Ashok Leyland has pioneered driver training in India recognizing the vital role of the driver in the commercial vehicle-industry. In fact, there is empirical proof that proper training can result in 5% or more fuel saving, translating into 3% reduction in total operating cost. We offer driver training to fleet owners, their drivers, individual drivers cum owners who appreciate that professionally trained drivers can make a significant difference to their businesses. Training is also imparted to drivers in the unorganized sector Presently, we have six well-established Driver Training Institutes (DTI) in India: at Namakkal (right in the trucking heartland of Tamil Nadu), Burari (in Delhi), Chhindwara (Madhya Pradesh), Kaithal (Haryana), Bhubaneswar (Orissa) and Railmagra (Rajasamand dist, Rajasthan). All DTIs are equipped with contemporary vehicles, road and terrain of every conceivable configuration, modern infrastructure including a state-of-the-art driving simulators and a scientifically designed curriculum. A comprehensive approach to training has been responsible for the immense success of the Institutes which have so far added value to over 6,00,000 drivers on the highways thru various training programmes !
