ZF Aftermarket UK enjoyed a highly successful presence at the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event (UKGBE) held on June 5th and 6th at the NEC in Birmingham, with the event attracting numerous visitors eager to learn more about ZF's innovative training programmes and offerings.
A major attraction was the new Nissan Leaf training vehicle, used to deliver IMI Level qualifications for hybrid and electric vehicle (EV) repair, as well as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibration and diagnosis.
Darren Lloyd, Technical and Training Manager at ZF Aftermarket UK, commented: “We’re excited to have showcased our Nissan Leaf training vehicle, emphasising our commitment to providing essential industry qualifications. With over one million electric vehicles now registered on UK roads, it's imperative that technicians are equipped with the skills to service these vehicles effectively.”
Workshops were also able to register for ZF [pro]Tech start for free at the show, an initiative designed to enhance the skills of technicians and provide workshops with the resources they need to excel in today’s rapidly evolving automotive landscape.
