The Automotive Tyre manufacturers Association (ATMA) has launched a campaign to train and re-skill the commercial tyre mechanics, known as tyre fitters. Indian Tyre Technical Advisory Committee (ITTAC), the technical wing of ATMA, is taking the lead in the re-skilling project. The first ATMA-ITTAC tyre fitters training and re-skilling programme was organised in North Delhi. Over 40 tyre fitters have participated in the programme. The programme was kicked off with  ATMA skilling group Co-convener Jyotsna Aswal honouring India’s only known lady tyre fitter Shanti Devi.

“Tyre fitters not only repair a tyre but also advises the transporter/ trucker about the condition of the tyre, good tyre upkeep, precautions that need to be taken for improving the life of a tyre. But there is no structured training available to the tyre fitters so far. ATMA’s move is to bridge this gap with technical experts engaging the tyre fitters in an intimate setting, and importantly, in a language understood by them”, said Satish Sharma, Chairman ATMA.

As part of training, tyre fitters were given an in-depth understanding of commercial tyre and its components, best practices for upkeep of tyres, different tyre faults, their causes and the remedial measures. Subsequent to the training programme, the tyre fitters were certified and certificates of training were handed over.
