Mr. Jakob Helgen, Area Vice President (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia & Myanmar) of Marriott International, said "It has been an honor to work with Mercedes-Benz making Marriott Mercedes-Benz Client Appreciation Days 2020 happen. This is the second year that the event has taken place, given great feedback from last year. This year, we had a total of 60 participants. The event aims to provide participants with knowledge, tips, and techniques on how to safely drive the luxury models of Mercedes-Benz. Participants were given first-hand experience of driving in a standard test field and learning about the performance tests at the same time, allowing them to learn how remarkable the safety innovations that come equipped with the cars are. In this regard, we prepared a variety of luxury models for the participants to test-drive, with hopes that this event will be beneficial to our clients, enabling them to find greater safety while driving."
Roland Folger, President & CEO of Mercedes-Benz (Thailand) Limited, said "Mercedes-Benz has worked incessantly to come up with cutting-edge technological advancements and innovations to improve car safety for our clients and car users in general, and to promote a better understanding of safe driving among them. We are so glad to have worked with Marriott International, our business partner, to organize the event with hopes to help reduce road accidents and increase as much road safety as possible. By learning tips and techniques on how to drive safely and enhancing their driving skill, the participants will have an improved understanding of the safety features in Mercedes-Benz cars and be able to secure greater safety both for themselves and people around them on the road."
At this event, the training on how to drive more safely took place at Bira Circuit in Pattaya with several stations provided: driving on a slalom course with high speed to learn more about car control, driving with rapid lane change to learn more about car conditions and control, emergency braking and how speed influences braking distance, and corner theory, as well as lead & follow that allowed participants to fully enjoy test-driving the vehicles.
