E-Mobility

Stricter environmental requirements and dwindling oil reserves are motivating manufacturers of motor and commercial vehicles to mass-produce hybrid and fuel cell-driven vehicles.

However, innovative propulsion techniques are placing increased demands on technicians in the workshops: while car mechanics deal with power supplies of up to 48 volts in vehicles with combustion engines, the additional electric motor used in the hybrid vehicle means they are faced with up to 1000 volts. Given the associated dangers, technicians working on hybrid and fuel cell vehicles require comprehensive training to work with high-voltage systems.

The qualification program offered by TÜV SÜD Akademie on HV technology in vehicles therefore devotes considerable room to the corresponding security measures, which are also required by the legislator. Interdisciplinary further education courses developed by TÜV SÜD Automotive, TÜV SÜD Rail, TÜV SÜD Life Service and TÜV SÜD Akademie have been tailored to meet the requirements of the relevant target groups: they range from the foundation course through training courses for defined activities on high-voltage systems to specialised technical courses for electricians.
