NEW I-CAR HYBRID & ALTERNATIVE FUEL PROGRAM LAUNCHED AT NACE NOW AVAILABLE NEAR YOU – REGISTER TODAY!
HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL –November 5, 2008 –The first I-CAR Live training program Hybrid Electric and Alternative Fuel Vehicles (ALT02) has been completed at NACE 2008. This program is a follow-up to the popular Electric and Electric Hybrid Vehicles (ALT01) program. This next level program will increase industry professional’s knowledge of hybrid-electric technology and alternative fuel vehicles and better prepare individuals to service and repair the ever changing and emergent new technologies on today’s vehicles.
Chuck Lee, Illinois Operations Manager for Gerber Collision and Glass, participated in the Hybrid Electric and Alternative Fuel Vehicles (ALT02) pilot program and said, ““I-CAR asked what the industry wanted and they really delivered. This was an excellent, relevant class with current vehicle specific information that we could take back to our shops and use today. We didn’t see any of the same material from other I-CAR classes. I have to commend them on listening to the voice of the industry!”
Additional information within the program includes:
- Save time and money by understanding electric air conditioning systems and the unique compressor oil used in hybrids. Part replacement may be required if improper oil is introduced to electric A/C systems.
- Protect yourself by learning unique damage analysis and repair considerations regarding electric-assist power steering systems and inverter/converter cooling systems.
- Protect yourself by learning how with each new hybrid vehicle there is a twist on the conventional hybrid system technologies.
- Gain insight into the future with alternative fuels, from the current ethanol blends, propane, and compressed natural gas fueled vehicles, to future technology such as plug-in hybrid electrics, the new pure electrics, and hydrogen fuel cell test vehicles.
