ACCATTAP has had several Simumak simulator units for years and with them trains thousands of professional drivers focusing on safety and efficiency in driving heavy vehicles. Among the particularities of this equipment, the virtual scenario developed by Simumak that reproduces real streets of Buenos Aires stands out. For them, ACCATTAP drivers train and submit to unforeseen events and situations that they will later encounter in their daily work, so that they are better prepared to overcome risks.
