July 20^th, 2021    Fukuyama Transporting Co., LTD. (Head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture; President: Shigehiro Komaru) and the Komaru Koutsu Foundation (Chief Director: Shigehiro Komaru) held a traffic safety class on trucks for 37 students of fifth and sixth graders at Geihoku Elementary School in Kitahiroshima-cho, Hiroshima Prefecture, on July 19.

In response to the school's request to prevent traffic accidents and raise awareness of traffic safety during the summer vacation, the students learned about the characteristics of trucks and how to prevent traffic accidents at intersections and crosswalks. The children commented that they would like to avoid playing around the truck because there were many blind spots from the driver's seat.

Komaru Koutsu Foundation was founded on September 9th, 2013 to promote traffic safety awareness, hosting various traffic safety lectures in Elementary schools across Japan and carrying out educational activities to prevent traffic accidents. It also provides opportunities for students studying Japanese overseas to present the results of their studies, and holds Japanese composition speech contests to raise awareness of traffic safety and promote cultural exchange.
