VG Motors Rolls Out First-Ever EV Driving Trainer Program in Nepal

VG Motors, official distributor of SRM and Joylong EV vans in Nepal, is taking the lead on EV road safety. In a bold move, the company completed a "Training of Trainers (ToT)" program aimed at reducing accidents involving electric vehicles.

The training kicked off on Shrawan 10 at the Joint Driving Trial Center in Banepa, where 45 driving instructors from across Nepal gathered for the first phase.

This isn’t a one-off workshop—it’s part of a national effort to prepare EV drivers for real-world risks and push smarter, safer driving habits across the country.

EV Safety Training Focused on Real-World Driving Skills

What sets this training apart? It isn’t just theory, it’s grounded in practical, on-road EV scenarios.

Instructors were trained to handle:

• Instant torque acceleration unique to electric vehicles

• Regenerative braking on hills and slopes

• Low-noise risks in urban zones

• Steering and braking sensitivity

• Reading EV dashboards (SOC, power motor, turtle mode)

The course also addressed emergency braking, speed control, and defensive driving in EVs, all tailored to public transport and school vehicle use.

Led by Experts with Global Know-How

The program was headed by Samrat Gautam, a specialist in Mechatronics Engineering from Finland and head of VG Motors’ R&D team.

“We’re not here just to sell EVs, we’re building a culture of safe, informed driving,” Gautam said.

His expertise and leadership helped translate complex EV mechanics into clear, practical techniques for instructors who will now carry this knowledge back to their driving schools.

Nationwide Expansion Already in Motion

VG Motors CEO Vivek Bijukchhe confirmed this was just the first phase. The company plans to scale the training program nationwide in collaboration with driving institutes and transport bodies.

“We’re committed to making EV safety a national standard, not just a company initiative,” he stated.

Future sessions will target a larger audience of school and public transport drivers, bringing consistent EV safety education to Nepal’s roads.

Making EV Road Safety a Shared Responsibility

This program isn’t just a training—it’s part of VG Motors’ wider mission. As part of their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) commitment, the company is taking a hands-on role in Nepal’s EV transition.

They’re creating a model where:

• Drivers are trained before they hit the road

• Instructors are equipped with EV-specific skills

• Safety becomes a shared value across transport systems

Training That Drives Real Change

VG Motors isn’t waiting for regulations to catch up, they’re setting the pace. By launching Nepal’s first EV-specific ToT program, they’ve taken a vital step toward making electric mobility safer, smarter, and more sustainable.

As more EVs hit the streets, this kind of proactive education is not optional, it’s essential.
