Welcome to Trucksim -the official project website dedicated to the development of the first full mission Truck Driver Training Simulator (TDTS) in the UK .This project has been made possible via the UK 's Road Haulage Modernisation Fund (RHMF), a Department for Transport initiative.

TRL Limited was appointed to manage, build, host and evaluate the effectiveness of training provided by the TDTS. Trucksim is located at TRL's Simulation Centre in Wokingam, Berkshire.The TDTS started operations in November 2003.

The first phase of the evaluation programme was completed in March 2004. Over 600 commercial vehicle drivers from over 120 companies assisted in validating the TDTS. Due to Trucksim's popularity, demand to participate in the research programme exceeded the number of available free spaces during the first phase period. Therefore, in response to the industry’s desire to participate the Department for Transport has extended the research programme to accommodate a further 400 drivers (starting in May 2004). A Key development will be to greatly enhance the training component of the study and to ensure greater insight can be gained into the pragmatic opportunity of improving fuel economy performance.
