The two simulators were devised and built by MPRI, based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The training arm of the company delivers simulator training for the transport industry and a wide variety of other services where driving is important, such as law enforcement.
There are seven standard courses, and 140 different vehicles are available at click of a mouse.
George Perez, senior training specialist on secondment to the UK from Utah, says the key to the simulator's success is its accurate portrayal of the real world. Feedback from the UK trucking industry, says Perez, always praises how realistic the simulator is, once drivers get used to it. The system first arrived in the UK at the CV Operator Show in Birmingham earlier this year.
