Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings Ltd. (TGS), the Royal Automobile Club of Jordan (RACJ) and Markazia Toyota, part of Markazia Group, have partnered to support road safety, improve the skills of drivers and specialist personnel and expand local training and fleet management capacity in Jordan.
Industry sources added that the collaboration was underscored by the signing of an agreement between TGS and RACJ on 23 August 2026, which Markazia Toyota attended and supported as an RACJ member and sponsor. The agreement merges TGSโs international experience in training and fleet management, RACJโs local expertise in road safety and training and Markazia Toyotaโs dynamic role within Jordanโs automotive industry. Through this alliance, the three parties seek to foster lasting professional skills and promote safer road practices.
According to the agreement, the TGS Fleet Services team will assist RACJ instructors through a train-the-trainer approach, transferring expertise and empowering local professionals to conduct training programs independently and sustainably. RACJ will apply these skills in its own training programs in Jordan, drawing on its experience and specialized training facilities, while Markazia Toyota supports local implementation.
The training programs will cover drivers, trainers, supervisors, technicians and fleet managers, with an emphasis on raising professional standards across road safety, vehicle care and maintenance and fleet operations. The approach highlights the importance of investing in people and sharing knowledge in ways that produce tangible results that last beyond the programโs duration.
Commenting on the partnership, TGS Road Safety Program Manager, Daniel Hardy, said, โWe believe the most sustainable investment any organization can make is in its people. Our partnership with RACJ, and with the support of Markazia Toyota, is an opportunity to build capability and prepare local professionals who can pass that knowledge on and raise road safety standards over the long term. By empowering local specialists to become trainers and champions of road safety, we help create lasting impact long after the initial program has concluded.”
For his part, RACJ President[SH1] , Walid Saleh Zaki, added, โThe agreement represents an important milestone in RACJโs journey to strengthen its role as a distinguished regional center for road safety training. By working closely with TGS and Markazia Toyota, we seek to improve the capabilities of Jordanian trainers and qualify them to the highest international standards, thereby positively impacting the quality of training services offered in Jordan and the region.”
Nadim Haddad, Markazia Group CEO, added, โWe see this collaboration as a model for how international and local expertise can converge around a shared objective targeting safer roads and better professional skills. Weโre happy to be part of an initiative that brings TGS and RACJ together, and to support efforts to establish lasting local expertise and safer driving practices in Jordan.โ
The partnership helps embed specialist knowledge and expertise locally and improves the skills of those working in road safety and fleet management, extending the impact of the training programs and supporting safer practices in driving and vehicle operation. It also aligns with wider efforts to raise road safety standards and reduce traffic accidents and injuries across the Kingdom.
