New program to train motor technicians [May 28 2013]

The Department of Motor Traffic launches a new program to train motor technicians with the up-to-date technology in order to maintain quality of vehicles according to the present established standards of the country. The program is conducted jointly with the Ceylon-German Technical Training Institute (German Tech).

Evaluating recent inspections the Department have identified that many vehicle repair technicians are not sufficiently skilled in tuning a vehicle to proper levels of the Vehicle Emission tests in Sri Lanka, Commissioner General of Motor Traffic S H Harishchandra said.

The Department plans to hold these special training sessions at provincial level in the near future.
