Mercedes‑Benz Türk Supports Women Drivers Through “Benzersiz Kadınlar” Initiative.

Mercedes‑Benz Türk has completed the first year of its “Benzersiz Kadınlar” (Unique Women) project, an initiative designed to support and increase the employment of women drivers in the transportation sector. The project was developed in collaboration with CILT Türkiye and WiLAT and focuses on helping women take their place in the profession as bus and truck drivers.

The name “Benzersiz Kadınlar” combines “Benz” with the Turkish word “benzersiz,” meaning “unique.” Through the initiative, women have been supported in obtaining the truck and bus driving licences required to enter the profession. In addition, participants received the certificates and documents necessary to work as professional drivers.

As part of the program, trainers from Mercedes‑Benz Türk provided dedicated training covering both professional driving skills and practical aspects of the profession. Participants have since begun taking their places behind the wheel as professional drivers.

The initiative also contributes to the “5 Years, 5,000 Women Drivers” campaign led by CILT Türkiye and WiLAT, which aims to increase women’s employment in the transportation and logistics industry while supporting a more inclusive and sustainable sector.

Through “Benzersiz Kadınlar,” Mercedes‑Benz Türk seeks to support women not only in entering the profession, but also in building sustainable careers as professional drivers.
