Electric Vehicle Safety Training
What Makes an Experienced Technician Call It the Best Workshop He’s Attended in 20 Years?
When technicians at a major transportation and logistics organization took DEKRA Electric Vehicle Safety Training, they came in already knowing vehicles, maintenance and the realities of the job.
What the training gave them was a deeper understanding of the high-voltage systems, PPE, electrical shock prevention and lithium-ion battery hazards that come with the move to electric vehicles.
