Twice on the "podium"
Lower Austrians set course for the European Snowplough Championships
Even during the "summer break", the snow plow drivers from the local road maintenance depots don't allow themselves any time off. They train their skills - and compete in precision driving. Lower Austria is one step ahead!
While early summer is making a comeback, the snow plow drivers are taking off! At the nationwide competition in Gleisdorf, Styria, four employees from the local road service were among the top twelve. Two of them - Stefan Kapfinger from the Gänserndorf road maintenance department and his colleague Reinhard Pfeiffer from Wolkersdorf - plowed their way to the top. They will now travel to the European Championships in Mending, Germany, together with John Meierhofer, who competed for the association of towns.
Beforehand, the drivers had to demonstrate both skill and speed on a course with 14 different stations. Thanks and recognition were given at the award ceremony by Transport Minister Udo Landbauer: "Now it's official: our road service employees are among the absolute best! Because to win here, you need real skill, dexterity and precision."
