Description

Join this self-paced online learning module to find out all about Electric and Hybrid Vehicles, and the role they play in supporting the decarbonisation of the transport industry.

The module is designed to take between 3-4 hours to complete and can be done in one go or you can drop in and out as time allows.

Currently there are only two truly zero-emission transport technologies - Electric Vehicles (EVs) or Hydrogen. In this module we will be exploring what an EV is, how it works and the different types available.

Over this module you will:

Discover what an Electric Vehicle is and how it works

Explore the different types of electric vehicles available

Examine how "clean" electric vehicles really are and compare them to other forms of transport

This self-paced online module will help you understand this amazing new technology and some of the ways it could impact your own business. Course Outline:

Electric Vehicles: An introduction to the key technical concepts of electric vehicles.

Comparison of EV drivetrains: Exploring the different types of electric vehicles and how they compare and differ.

Applications and limitations: No technology is perfect, but all great innovators knows that the aim is to find their niche. In this section we will examine the strengths and weaknesses of electric vehicles.

What's next?: The transport is constantly innovating and developing. Here we will explore the likely future opportunities and innovations for electric vehicles and the impact these will have on the business case for electric vehicles.

This micro-learning course is part of our Net Zero Transport Fundamentals Collection, where we look to provide bite-sized training on all the core technologies and topics relating to decarbonising the transport industry.
