Toyota plans to have close to a dozen driver training institutes before the end of this year as the Japanese auto giant seeks to pursue its mission of ‘Safest Car with Safest Driver’ along with its car sales and business expansion in India.
The car maker on Wednesday opened its driving school in Chennai managed by its dealer Lanson Toyota. This is its first school in Tamil Nadu and fourth in India. The company opened its first driving school in March 2015 in Lucknow, followed by Hyderabad and Kochi.
The driving school will offer two training programmes — individual and corporate fleet and fees will range between ₹5,000 and ₹7,000.
The curriculum comprises practical training models like a driver simulator. To make this as a realistic experience, Toyota has incorporated features like IP, steering and seats of a Etios car.
“Our focus will not be just issuing a driving licence but much more of a place that follows a comprehensive approach to make them responsible drivers on road,” said Akito Tachibana, Managing Director, Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd.
Key highlights of the curriculum include traffic management, rules and road discipline, safe and right driving concepts, simulation of driving a real vehicle before getting on road, all aspects of practical driving on road, driving in various road and climate conditions, basic car maintenance and repair and emergency handling.
