Mobile Training Unit
Our MTU offers drivers a simulated driving experience to support our world-class safety culture.
Building on our commitment to professional driver development, the MTU is a breakthrough in driver training technology.
The MTU is North America’s first mobile training simulator for school bus and coach drivers. Utilizing the same technology that the aviation industry employs in pilot training, the MTU offers drivers a simulated driving experience that duplicates the experience of operating a variety of our buses.
The MTU is housed in a full-sized motorcoach, with three screens that give drivers a realistic 180-degree view of the road. MTU driving modes, which include full vehicle control, accelerator, and brake applications are fully customizable and give drivers hands-on experience in several key scenarios:
- Adverse weather
- Driving awareness
- Collision avoidance
- Evasive action
- High-risk situations
- Situational driving
- Intersections
