PHH Arval has acquired certain assets of the Center for Transportation Safety, a provider of fleet risk management and training solutions, focusing on simulator, classroom, behind-the-wheel and mobile training programs for drivers
in the U.S. and Canada.

PHH Arval will now market its newly acquired risk management and training products and solutions under the PHH Center for Transportation Safety (CTS) brand, and CTS will operate as a separate division within PHH Arval.

"This new in-house capability, made possible by the acquisition of the Center for Transportation Safety, LLC's assets and brand, is another step in PHH Arval's commitment to investing in the products, services, technology and capabilities that benefit our clients," said George Kilroy, president and CEO of PHH Arval. "We see this as a great opportunity to enhance our fleet risk and safety offerings, an area of prime importance to our clients. We will combine CTS' safety training expertise with our existing portfolio of risk and safety services to help our clients reduce their vehicle accident rates and costs and keep their fleet drivers safer."

Jay Shelly, former president and owner of the Center for Transportation Safety, has been hired by PHH Arval to help lead the new division.

PHH's Center for Transportation Safety will provide driver safety capabilities that cover vehicles of all sizes, including cars and light trucks, police and rescue vehicles, delivery vehicles, straight trucks, tractor-trailers, specialty tractor-trailers, and forklifts. The simulator, classroom, behind-the-wheel and mobile training programs can be accomplished at the client's site or a field location. PHH's Center for Transportation Safety also provides training for new hires and employees who have been assigned company vehicles for the first time.

Recently, PHH Arval formed a strategic partnership with Driving Dynamics for enhanced fleet safety training. PHH Arval will incorporate Driving Dynamics' Web-based driver training modules into its suite of risk and safety services.
