Toyota Czech Republic has a wide range of business activities in the Czech Republic. It is not only about passenger cars, but also about training truck drivers.
For Toyota, we have developed an advanced VR application that allows drivers to experience the complete training process in a safe virtual environment. So, step by step, drivers go through the use of protective equipment, refueling the vehicle, as well as payment and administration. In addition, we have prepared a wide range of other scenarios.
Training drivers of compressed natural gas (LNG) trucks presents a challenge, especially when there is no dedicated trainer or real truck available. Traditional methods are time-consuming, costly, and often limited by the availability of equipment, increasing the risk of errors and reducing training effectiveness. Therefore, we are glad that Toyota Tsusho Europe was not afraid to try the new technology that VR undoubtedly is, and thus combine training with “experience”. Thus, drivers will remember the process better than from ordinary training documents.

What was the reality?
Creating Scenery
We wanted to show drivers as much as possible the process in a real environment. That's why we've modeled a gas station that they'll build on and build a truck they're likely to drive.
Connecting drivers
So that VR training is not “just” a surround video clip, we have also included the use of controllers in the application.
Testing
VR applications need to go through rigorous testing to minimize poor user experience and understanding. For this “game” you have to do exactly “quests” so that it does not backfire in real life.

I am glad that we managed to create an unconventional training application. All the more so when this Czech application made its way to the European headquarters of Toyota Motor Europe (TME).
