03 Sep 2025 CW Team

Organised in collaboration with Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital (SCEH), the initiative reached more than 900 drivers across Andhra Pradesh, Delhi NCR, Haryana, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Maharashtra. The camps offered general health check-ups, eye screenings, and road safety training sessions.

Eicher Trucks and Buses' driver wellbeing programme is designed to support drivers, offering a win-win for operators as drivers are a critical link for road safety, operational efficiency, and long-term truck and bus uptime. Aligned with Eicher’s broader vision of modernising trucking in India, the initiative underscores the brand’s commitment to building a healthier, safer, and more sustainable transportation ecosystem through community-focused interventions.

Commenting on the initiative, Vinod Aggarwal, Managing Director and CEO of VECV, said, "Truck and bus drivers form the backbone of our logistics system. At Eicher, we salute these highway heroes who tirelessly keep our economy running. We believe driver wellbeing is central to building a safe and sustainable transport ecosystem. Through the Eicher Highway Superheroes Program, we aim to provide truck and bus drivers with access to essential health services, including eye care. This initiative aligns with our commitment to supporting drivers and enhancing road safety in India."

Launched in 2016, the Eicher Highway Superheroes Program aims to make advanced, affordable eye screening services accessible to truck drivers, ensuring their health and improving road safety. Currently, Eicher operates through 13 EMV (Eicher Eye and Ear Screening Mobile Vans) along with a fixed centre in Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar, Delhi. The company has also onboarded 10 hospital partners, collaborated with 2,500 transporters, and partnered with Government Transport Departments across 11 states to ensure the wellbeing of the drivers’ community. Since its inception, the programme has benefited over 270,000 drivers from all states across India.

To provide comprehensive growth for drivers, Eicher has established the Phoenix-Eicher Institute of Driver Training and Research in Latur, Maharashtra, which aims to upskill the driving fraternity and enhance their core competencies through professional driver training programmes.
