Referring to the role of wear and tear on the fleet in increasing the risk of road accidents, Sakev Esfani emphasized the need to simultaneously pay attention to road safety and the drivers' livelihood and said: The implementation of the modernization program should not cause a sudden decrease in the property value of the truck owners or create economic and social problems for them.
