How Logistic Leaders Manage the Future of Driving Training With Simulators

As global logistics giants like UPS and DHL embrace new training technologies, driving simulation has emerged as their solution of choice. 

In 2020 logistic leader UPS developed the first-ever UPS Logistics Driving Simulation Center, and last year added 20 additional simulators in facilities across the US, with a total of 64 in operation and $345 million invested in safety initiatives by the end of the year.

DHL also recognizes simulations benefits and opened in 2021 their UK Transport Development Centre (TDC) where also drivers gain experience on state-of-the-art simulators. 

Through these initiatives, industry pioneers are gaining major advantages over small and medium sized businesses around the globe as simulation training gives their drivers the opportunity to experience hazardous driving conditions, and to become familiar with vehicle handling in an immersive, accident-free environment.

Drivers develop muscle memory of safe techniques like hazard recognition and defensive driving until they become instinctual through varied scenarios involving obstacles, traffic, weather and general road and vehicle emergencies.

“Our approach is to give candidates the highest quality training, while also removing the barriers that might have previously stood in their way such as cost and complexity.” – Ian Clough, MD transport, DHL Supply Chain UK&I
