ECTA commits itself to improve safety on the road by the active promotion of BBS, a one-to-one training method that improves the behaviour of the driver on the road by immediate interaction with a trainer-driver. The other commitment of ECTA is to organise feedback and consensus within its membership companies on new technologies such as ESP and reflective technology on equipment.
