Castrol India has introduced an EV-readiness training programme for mechanics to continue supporting mechanic upskilling and to contribute towards the transition to greener and more sustainable mobility.
Mechanics play an integral role in the automotive aftermarket. However, one of the key knowledge gaps for mechanics is the lack of sufficient training around the latest automotive technologies.
A press release from the company said that the programme was held from 13 to 16 September in New Delhi, covering over 100 top-tier car and bike mechanics. The training was supported and endorsed by Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC). After completion of the training, the mechanics were evaluated through a quiz to test their knowledge and understanding on EVs. They were also awarded with a certificate of completion at ASDC’s Skill India Conclave held on 23 September in Delhi.Participating mechanics had the chance to preview the Castrol ON range of advanced e-fluids for improved electric vehicle performance, which was launched globally in 2021 and will soon be launched in India. Based on a strong and successful response from mechanics, Castrol India plans to roll out its EV-readiness training to other cities. Sandeep Sangwan, Managing Director, Castrol India, said, “With electric vehicles coming into the market, we see ourselves as an acceleration partner for helping mechanics and workshops get EV-ready.”Arindam Lahiri, CEO, ASDC, said, “We are happy that leading industry players are associating with ASDC for their skill training initiatives. All existing job roles at ASDC have been upgraded to reflect the changes happening in the automotive industry. We have also roped in industry experts to launch new courses and curriculum related to electric vehicles.'
