The Hybrid Car Maintenance course is designed to equip participants with the necessary skills to maintain hybrid vehicles and understand the concepts of hybrid and electric vehicle engineering, as well as applications related to hybrid systems such as battery types and motors. Participants will also gain practical and hands-on skills in specialized labs and workshops.
Participants will be empowered with the principles of internal combustion engines and the operation of auxiliary systems within hybrid vehicles (such as ignition and fuel systems), in addition to familiarizing them with different types of gearboxes (manual, automatic, CVT) and understanding their components and maintenance procedures.
In light of the increase in the number of hybrid/electric vehicles and the development of electric drive systems that operate at high voltage, as is common in Western countries, the decision was made by the Ministry of Transport's Vehicle Division to allow garages and service centers to maintain electric/hybrid vehicles, provided that the employees undergo appropriate training.
A student who has completed this training is permitted to perform basic tasks on the vehicle (removing wheels, changing engine oil, disassembling parts) that are not related to the high-voltage system. The goal of the Hybrid Vehicle Level 1 training is to introduce the learner to the world of hybrid and electric vehicles and to increase awareness of the electric shock risk when working with high-voltage (HV) vehicles. The focus of Level 1 is on safety rules and work procedures for high-voltage (HV) vehicles.
