Bus maintenance and repair has traditionally been accomplished, with large operators training their own technicians from apprentice level upwards. But the introduction of novel technologies such as battery and fuel-cell power, along with the increasing sophistication of diesel vehicles, has meant that traditional 'learning by watching' methods may no longer cut it. Indeed, operators introducing novel driveline technology now find that their entire engineering workforces need retraining to cope with the challenges posed by the new vehicles.Both the UK's oldest bus manufacturer, Alexander Dennis, and one of the newest entrants to the British market, Yutong, are equipping their customers to cope with the challenges of today's innovative vehicles.Alexander Dennis offers ten IMI-accredited courses, with more in development. These cover traditional subjects including suspension, brakes, engines and exhaust aftertreatment, in addition to multiplex and CAN systems. In addition, there are specific courses for apprentices. |
