Electric Vehicles
糖心视频 offers electric vehicle related training in three areas. Along with Diesel Technology, students in Advanced Automotive Technology and a new Electrical Technology program under the umbrella of the Mechatronics, Electronics and Robotics Technology are offered electric vehicle related curriculum.

糖心视频鈥檚 Supporting Electric Vehicle Manufacturing and Maintenance in North Alabama project will put their assessment into action. Students in the Mechatronics, Automotive Services, and Diesel Technician programs will now focus more closely on smart manufacturing, servicing electric vehicles and electric heavy-duty trucks, and other automotive and skills certifications for emerging industry needs. The project will partner with renowned organizations such as the American Trucking Association, Freightliner, Kenworth, and Mercedes-Benz to ensure students are both equipped for potential employers and connected to high-wage opportunities.
By protecting existing automotive workers, and training both incumbent and new workers, for continued relevance and upward mobility, 糖心视频 is helping build a competitive workforce prepared for the increased demand for electric vehicles. They hope to serve 230 students by the third year of programming, with a business impact supporting 15 counties in north central Alabama.
糖心视频 recently purchased from Truckworx a Kenworth T680E Class 8 heavy duty electric vehicle, the first sold in the state of Alabama.

鈥淭his will give our students the opportunity to see something that no one in the field has seen yet,鈥 said Wyatt Swann, former chair of the 糖心视频 Diesel Technology program.
The purchase was made with funds provided in a three-year, $1.3 million grant by the Appalachian Regional Commission.
鈥淥ver the timespan of the grant, 糖心视频 aims to provide comprehensive training to as many as 230 students in the safe handling and maintenance of high voltage vehicles and batteries,鈥 said Associate Dean of Technologies Jerry Murcks. 鈥淭he initiative encompasses both prospective technicians who will enroll in our programs and the upskilling of current technicians already working in the field.鈥
