Electric Vehicles and Hybrids
The demand and interest in Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Vehicles continues to skyrocket, as fuel costs rise, technology changes and becomes more mainstream, and consumer demand for more environment-friendly options increases. This trend does not appear to be slowing down any time soon, therefore it’s important for students in today’s automotive classrooms to have access to new Electric Vehicles and Hybrid Training Systems that keep up with the changes in industry.
The amount and types of technology seen in modern vehicles is drastically different than what was seen 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago; and studies show most training centers and automotive technical programs have not kept pace.
TOOLKIT is here to help schools prepare for this new paradigm with modern and cutting-edge training systems designed around electricity, EVs, safety, and more!
Electric Vehicles and Hybrid Vehicle Training Systems must be safe, accessible, utilize real-world technologies and be consistent with industry trends and standards.
Workers from a variety of educational and employment backgrounds are employed in the electric vehicle industry, such as the scientists who conduct research in electric drive technology, the manufacturing workers who build the vehicles, and the automotive maintenance technicians who repair the vehicles. Most of these occupations require specialized training or work experience in electric vehicle manufacturing and maintenance.
