Why aren’t more Brazilian women benefiting from the truck driving profession? IVECO is working to change this with Caminhos para Elas. More than half of the women who participated in the programme's first year have already secured employment. In Brazil, women make up just 3.4% of licensed heavy-duty vehicle drivers.
