Mercedes-Benz Vietnam attracts nearly 1,000 customers to its 12th driving academy

The Saigon Times Daily Wednesday,  Jul 27,2016,20:30 (GMT+7)

HCMC - The Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy (MBDA), organized annually by Mercedes-Benz Vietnam (MBV), came back to the south on  July 21-25 at HappyLand race track in Long An Province, giving drivers a chance to experience an exciting driving enjoyment with high-performance Mercedes-AMG models.

The MBDA 2016 was not only an occasion for drivers to enhance their driving skills but also a chance to test-drive new Mercedes-Benz products and seek an exciting experience through stimulated exercises. Nearly 1,000 guests from HCMC and southern provinces showed up at the event.

A race track is where a car can perform at its limit. On-time interference of safety features integrated in Mercedes-Benz cars can minimize or eliminate hazardous situations arising at top limits.

Through stimulated exercises designed by experienced instructors, participants at the MBDA 2016 could deeply experience safety technologies on the race track, which can be applied to daily traffic situations.

The key features at the MBDA 2016 were sudden braking and lane changing at high speed (for ABS/BAS test), lane changing on slippery surface (for ESP & Pre-Safe test), and introduction of Collision Prevention Assist Plus (CPA PLUS) with an auto-decelerating function.

MBV designed both on-road and off-road exercises with a line-up of 30 test-drive vehicles to meet various demands of customers.

With a variety of products and terrains, participants could get to get hands-on knowledge of technologies like DYNAMIC SELECT, 4MATIC and 9G-TRONIC in reality.

“The Mercedes-Benz Driving Academy allows customers to experience extreme situations to be prepared should they ever occur in real life,” said Choi Duk Jun, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Cars.

At the event, drivers also practiced cornering at high speed under the instruction of experienced international racers. Those with outstanding skills were chosen for setting lap-time on the Mercedes-AMG A 45 4MATIC and Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 4MATIC. Not only be useful for off-road exercises, the 4MATIC all-wheel drive also helps to increase traction, and distribute power effectively without raising much weight thanks to its smart structure.  

The ten best drivers at the event will be sponsored to attend the AMG World of Driving Performance next year.

Besides iconic sedans, the MBDA 2016 showcased the latest SUVs such as the Mercedes-AMG GLA 45 AMG, the GLC 250 4MATIC, the GLC 300 4MATIC, and the GLE 400 4MATIC.

The event included activities for families such as kid corner, free ice cream and stimulated camping site with the V 200 d and Mercedes-Benz bicycles.

Mercedes-Benz is the first brand to organize a driving academy in Vietnam and to bring this exclusive experience to customers from across the country with both on- and off-road versions. After 12 years of development in Vietnam, the MBDA has trained and certified more than 4,000 customers nationwide. With the support of racing experts, these 4,000 customers have completed the course successfully and safely without any major incidents.

The premium tire brand Michelin continued to accompany MBDA 2016 with its road-gripping and reliable tires.
