Like the rest of NZ, we were seeking a solution to so many senseless road deaths. We still believe that the answer lies in increasing the standard of training for all drivers.
We have found driving simulator training students, on average test 2/3’s faster than 'on-road-only' trained drivers - achieving a significantly higher standard.*
95+% pass first time with few or no errors (compared to a national average of 55% & lower).*
*from our 10+ years experience using driving simulators with Excellence Driving Academy
We are passionate about finding a solution to the senseless road deaths occurring in NZ every year and believe the answer lies in training. Roads, speed, and vehicles have all been blamed; however, people still die on our roads.
Driving Simulators NZ Ltd are the NZ Agent for
ECA Group, France.
Not all simulators are made equal.
ECA have been world leaders for over 3 decades, their simulators have greatly reduced susceptibility to nausea, high fidelity, randomized programming & interaction, 320km of roading in city, country, hills, motorways, multiple vehicle types, time of day, weather variables, auto & manual. As our students are familiar with driving under instruction in a city environment with heavy traffic when they finally go on road, this decreases the chance of stalling, panic attacks, and increases their ability to cope with other incorrect driver behaviour.
17 popular languages are installed & where English is the first language, this greatly assists learning a skill at a time with explanations, demonstration & lastly multiple opportunities to practice the skills. The advanced training often has video replay & feedback data so students improve.
Written, verbal & kinaesthetic learning styles are all catered for. The use of generic international roading ensures the same high standard of driving required in Europe. NZ road rules & signs have been added to personalise the training experience.
Eca provide a variety of training simulators and driving systems to cover a variety of needs:
Back to back training with no lost hours. Increase training hours through winter.
Specialist programmes to meet the needs of a wider diversity of clients.
Reduced vehicle running costs and maintenance.
Increased profit.
