The goal of the EV Academy is to train mechanics to work with EVs across Europe.
The new EV Academy is a joint venture of the Dutch automotive parts supplier NRF and the Polish EV franchise chain EV Repair. The goal of the EV Academy is to train mechanics to work with EVs across Europe. Mechanics and workshops can choose out of 4 training levels, from basic to expert. The training program covers all EV brands and all aspects, including software.
EV Academy organized a first training session at the Automotive Campus in the Netherlands. The 2-day launch event included EV training for mechanics, a training for parts distributors and a press conference. The Automotive Campus is the perfect location, because it includes workshops, meeting rooms and testing facilities. At this location also the NRF e-Mobility head office is located.
Bartosz Jezioranski, EV Repair: ‘In our EV Repair organization we have been training franchisees to work on EV’s for years. Via the EV Academy we want to scale our knowledge European wide.’
Ben Meek, NRF: ‘NRF is the prime European EV Parts aftermarket supplier. Partnering up with EV Repair to launch the EV Academy fits to that ambition to support the transition of the aftermarket for electrified powertrains.’
NRF, the European market leader on thermal aftermarket parts, is selected as a new supplier of Alliance Automotive Group Germany. With this new partnership, AAG Germany will offer its customers the entire NRF range of 11.000 engine cooling and air conditioning parts and beyond (e.g. sensors). NRF parts will be available to all German workshops via AAG branches throughout Germany
NRF is ready for the future! NRF offers the largest and fastest growing aftermarket cooling range for hybrid (HEV or PHEV) and electric vehicles (EV). To ensure that this development is professionally managed, NRF has set up a dedicated EV development team, led by Benjamin Meek.
