In an exemplary initiative, employees of the company VITRONIC have raised a donation of 1,750 Euros for the Youth Association for Accident Victims of Hamburg e.V.
Under the guiding principle of #visionzero, numerous organizations are committed to the goal of "No Traffic Deaths." In Germany alone, according to the Federal Statistical Office, there were around 2.5 million road traffic accidents in 2023. In nearly 300,000 cases, personal injuries occur, 27,235 of which involved children under 15 years old. The path to #visionzero includes measures for traffic education, traffic surveillance, and emergency care. The Hamburg Police have initiated momentum with their campaign. The Hamburg Enforcement Trailer (speed trap trailer by VITRONIC) was colorfully painted by the children of the Youth Association. The children were encouraged to visualize their accident experiences. The goal of this action was to raise awareness about the dangers of speeding. This creative action highlights the importance of raising children's awareness about traffic safety early on.
Additionally, Jens Richter, an employee of the technology company and initiator of the donation campaign, ensured that the trailer could not only be seen in Hamburg but also purchased as a miniature version from Rietze, a manufacturer of miniature objects. Each purchase of such a miniature model supports the Youth Association in Hamburg and its measures to assist accident-affected children. This donation campaign raised 1,750 Euros from VITRONIC employees, proudly handed over to the charitable organization.
