The commercial vehicle training

Swift, safe and economical

Opel has a diverse fleet of light transport and commercial vehicles (LCV stands for “Light Commercial Vehicles”) to cater to the various needs of its customers.

 

The Combo, Movano and Vivaro embody everything that the professional LCV customer requires. Those who drive an LCV professionally are the target audience for our LCV Commercial Training. Even after one has learnt how to handle these workhorses, it goes without saying that they drive completely differently when fully loaded and when under strain. Along with various different driving drills and the correct usage of driver assistance systems, the LCV Commercial Vehicle Training also teaches drivers how to secure loads correctly, as well as how to drive economically – all an absolute necessity for LCV drivers of all kinds. The Opel LCV Commercial Vehicle Training is a whole-day event that includes a lunch buffet.
