Automotive Technology
Explore Toolkit’s solutions for Automotive Technology Training Systems for modern automotive classrooms.
The ever-increasing quantity of technologies found in modern vehicles, combined with the ever-increasing complexity of electronic systems and state-of-the-art technologies such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Smart Sensors, Autonomous Driving systems, Interconnected Systems, Computerized Diagnostic and Scan Tools, Plug-In Electric Vehicle and Hybrid technologies, etc. creates an increased need for automotive training to be done with modern, state-of-the-art technologies and training systems.
Modern Automotive Training Labs should keep pace with modern automotive vehicles on the road.
Automotive service technicians and mechanics can be expected to:
- Identify problems, often by using computerized diagnostic equipment
- Plan work procedures, using charts, technical manuals, and experience
- Test parts and systems to ensure that they work properly
- Follow checklists to ensure that all critical parts are examined
- Perform basic care and maintenance, including changing oil, checking fluid levels, and rotating tires
- Repair or replace worn parts, such as brake pads, wheel bearings, and sensors
- Perform repairs to manufacturer and customer specifications
- Explain automotive problems and repairs to clients
Although service technicians work on traditional mechanical systems, such as engines, transmissions, and drivebelts, they also must be familiar with a growing number of electronic systems. Braking, transmission, and steering systems, for example, are controlled primarily by computers and electronic components.
Other integrated electronic systems, such as accident-avoidance sensors, are becoming common as well. In addition, a growing number of technicians are required to work on vehicles that use electricity or alternative fuels, such as ethanol.
Service technicians use many different tools, including computerized diagnostic tools and power tools such as pneumatic wrenches, lathes, welding torches, and jacks and hoists, in addition to common hand tools like wrenches, pliers, and sockets.
Whether for transportation and logistics classrooms, agriculture and mechanics or manufacturing classrooms, Toolkit has the Automotive Service Technology Training Systems and ASE Certification-aligned solutions to fit your area’s industry training needs.

EV High Voltage Safety and Disconnect Trainer
We are proud to announce our newest training system for Automotive and Electric Vehicle classrooms, the EV-400 High Voltage Safety and Disconnect Trainer from ConsuLab.
EV-400: Mastering Electric Vehicles in a Safe, Interactive Environment
The EV-400 is a groundbreaking interactive high voltage trainer designed to revolutionize the way we teach and learn about electric vehicle (EV) systems. This premier tool goes beyond mere demonstrations, empowering students to actively test, explore, and diagnose real-world EV scenarios in a completely safe environment.Combining fundamental and foundational skills in electrical concepts with EV-specific training content in high voltage circuits and first-responder loops, the EV-400 is a must-have training tool for modern automotive classrooms. With over 90 testable functions, the EV-400 allows students to hone diagnostic skills with a built in fault box emulating common EV High Voltage issues. It’s not just about demonstration; it’s about active engagement, hands-on learning, and real-world application.
The system provides students hands-on learning in high voltages, EV isolation practices, and gives students safe and effective access to MEASURABLE 400V high voltages.
Available in single training systems or as classroom packages of 12 training systems.

Hybrid Planetary Gearset Trainer
The ConsuLab EM-200-29 Hybrid Planetary Gear-Set Trainer is designed to help instructors teach and students to understand the somewhat complex operation of a typical hybrid vehicle drivetrain. Based on a typical Toyota Prius hybrid vehicle, the trainer provides easy visualization of driveline component operation including:
- ICE (Internal Combustion Engine)
- MG1 (Motor/generator # 1)
- MG2 (Motor/generator # 2)
- Drive wheels
-
Cutaway Toyota Prius Hybrid Drive Train
The EC-140H Cutaway Toyota Prius Hybrid Drive Train is a training system designed specifically for teaching how a typical hybrid drive train operates. The trainer consists of all cutaway drive train components from a Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive system including:
- ICE (internal combustion engine)
- Torque damper assembly
- MG1 (motor/generator #1)
- Planetary gearset (power split device)
- MG2 (motor/generator #2)
- Transaxle
- Inverter
- HV (high voltage) battery (non-functional)
The ICE, MG1, MG2 and differential output/drive wheels are driven with external electric motors via connecting chains. This design allows the demonstration of eight of the possible hybrid operating modes. All components are cutaway to allow clear student visual learning.
-
Cutaway Starting System Trainer
The ConsuLab EM-200-19 Starting System Trainer allows for the demonstration of a complete starting system using real-world components. Key areas of the starter have been cutaway to allow visual observation of major components while still being functional.

Engine Training Stand with Starting Station and 1.8L GM Chevy
The ConsuLab EM-145S-GM05 Engine Trainer with GM Chevy Sonic Ecotec engine on a swivel stand is designed for student instruction and practice covering engine mechanical inspection, disassembly, measurement and reassembly.
The working engine training system is securely mounted to a heavy duty rotating device equipped with an automatic lock to allow full 360 degree rotation. A steel mounting plate is used for engine mounting that allows full access for rear main seal and flywheel service. Each engine comes equipped with a transmission flywheel (manual or automatic).
The engine starting station contains all components and systems necessary for the starting and running of the Ecotec engine. All necessary engine systems connections are provided to allow live operation of each swivel engine stand.

Engine Mechanical Diagnostics Trainer
The ConsuLab EM-141S-TY01 Automotive Training Aid is a working engine trainer for teaching engine mechanical diagnosis on a Toyota Corolla platform. The EM-141S-TY01 Mechanical Diagnosis Engine trainer was designed for the purposes of teaching students mechanical engine component failure diagnosis, and is a real time-saver allowing instructors to instantly provide a “turn-key” engine mechanical fault diagnosis package.
Have you ever wanted a running engine with repeatable mechanical faults that all of your students could diagnose? Would you like an engine system that has internal mechanical faults not requiring you to reinsert and repair them after each student use? Our EM-141S-TY01 does exactly that, and makes teaching automotive technicians easier.
The working engine bench is made to order and comes with complete curriculum and student activity manuals.
