  • CEAT is offering kits that include isolation cover, sanitiser & masks
  • So far CEAT has given these safety & hygiene kits to 200 auto drivers

The lockdown and the need for social distancing have prompted people to avoid public transports, and it largely affected auto drivers. While things are getting back in order, the threat is far from over and thus there is still apprehension among people taking an auto-rickshaw. To make commute safe for both drivers and customers, CEAT Tyres has announced a new initiative - CEAT Shield of Safety programme, under which the company has been giving out special safety kits to auto drivers. These kits contain an isolation cover that will offer a safe partition between the driver and passenger. Additionally, the kit also includes a surface cleaner and sanitiser along with bottle holder, masks and gloves.
