 <\/p>\n

SK Lubricants (CEO Jee Dong-seob, www.sklubricants.com<\/a>) and the Korea Road Traffic Authority have joined forces to promote safer roads and cleaner air.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SK Lubricants revealed on the 31st that it had signed an MoU with the Korea Road Traffic Authority in the SK Headquarters building, located in Jongno-gu, Seoul, on \u201cactivities for public benefit on traffic safety,\u201d such as safe and Eco-driving cultures.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The MoU symbolizes the initiative taken by the public organizations and private enterprises to prevent accidents through safety training programs and campaigns, reducing fuel consumption by supporting Eco-driving culture, and thereby decreasing CO2 emissions and creating social benefits and value.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SK Lubricants has explained the problem as follows: after earning a driver\u2019s license, many drivers do not have any access to opportunities toward further safety training, which builds improper driving habits like hard acceleration and braking, idling engine, and such, which generate preventable CO2 and microdust emissions leading to air pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The MoU will pave the way for the first project within this campaign, the ‘motorcycle safety training’, within this year.\u00a0The rates of\u00a0motocycle accidents\u00a0in Korea\u00a0recently\u00a0has been increasing\u00a0mostly because\u00a0motorcycle riders’ awareness about safe driving is lower than car drivers’. Specifically,\u00a0motorcycle riders often violate signals and\u00a0speed limits, or drive without\u00a0helmets. Especially the explosive growth of quick delivery services by motorcycles\u00a0in Korea also\u00a0implies an increasing\u00a0need\u00a0for motorcycle riders’ safety trainings.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

According to the Korean National Police Agency, the number of traffic accidents in Korea during the year 2018 stood at 217,148, which represents a 0.4% decrease from 2017. However, the number of motorcycle accidents stood at 15,032, which represents a 9.5% increase from 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A representative of the Korea Road Traffic Authority commented, \u201cWe expect this MoU and the subsequent safety training program for motorcycle riders\u00a0will relieve\u00a0drivers’ anxiety of\u00a0traffic safety on\u00a0the road, and\u00a0<\/span>thus reduce the rate of accidents involving\u00a0motorcycles in Korea.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With this MoU, SK Lubricants and the Korea Road Traffic Authority pledged to make efforts together in \u25b2improving and realizing new ideas for public welfare in traffic safety, \u25b2acquiring resources, and \u25b2measuring the results and establishing further plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Park Yong-min, Head of\u00a0Lubricant Business\u00a0Department of SK Lubricants\u00a0commented, \u201cWe have decided to take actions with the Korea Road Traffic Authority through this MoU to take our responsibility as an engine oil sellers to prevent traffic accidents and reduce the microdust problem. We will continue to cooperate with the Korea Road Traffic Authority to create more social values.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
