Scania's Young European Truck Driver, (YETD), the truck and bus OEM's flagship driving skills and road safety event, will return in 2012.
As in previous years, the ultimate prize will be a brand new Scania R-series truck, valued at 100,000 Euros.
Entrants will be the top performing drivers from each participating European nation, with the YETD final being staged at Scania's Swedish HQ, in September 2012.
According to Hans-Christer Holgersson, managing director of Scania (GB), to secure the place for the UK, drivers first have to win the local national final, entry to which is gained by online qualification.
The 10 highest scoring entrants will be selected to compete at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, Warwickshire on 23 June – with the objective being to drive economically and operate safely and efficiently.
The winner of this event will be named Young UK Driver of the Year and invited to represent the UK at the YETD 2012 final.
"In addition to offering a highly desirable top prize, YETD seeks to uplift professional driving standards and contribute towards improved safety on our roads," comments Holgersson.
For UK drivers, the process begins by registering at www.scania.co.uk/yetd and completing the theory questions.
