Puma Energy hosts “Be Road Safe” event in Dubai
Puma Energy hosted its first Be Road Safe event specifically created for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Dubai this Thursday. The event aims to promote the importance of road safety and highlight existing risks across the region.
The UAE Be Road Safe event, sponsored by Puma Energy and Impala Terminals, took place at Puma Energy’s Gulf Refining Company building in the port of Jebel Ali, Dubai. Event supporters included DP World, Trakhees, Department of Planning and Development and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), who spoke to attendees about regional road safety incidents. Some 48 countries have taken part in the initiative to date through the Road Safety Relay.
“Road safety is a critical issue across the globe and is therefore a priority that needs to be addressed,” said Nazar Juma, Regional General Manager at Puma Energy.
As part of the experience, visitors had the chance to enter a RTA simulator to experience what it feels like when a truck or car is involved in an accident. The aim of the event was to assist local truck drivers in better understanding the rules of the road and to learn more about how they can drive more safely.
