Their experience includes implementation of Black-spot Management programmes and safety audits in Ukraine and in other countries, writing manuals and guidelines on such issues, in depth analyses and research into road crashes to develop safety interventions, establishing / training / institutional strengthening road safety units within roads administrations and updating road design standards to include road safety Ensuring Vehicle safety: We are a leading firm in importing, supplying and installing vehicle technical inspection systems including own brand testing equipment and have supplied workshops and trained their personnel in the use, operation and maintenance of such equipment across Ukraine.
