The creation of electric vehicles can be a major step towards avoiding the consequences of climate change and reduce the carbon footprint across the globe. As per World Bank data on CO2 statistics in India, decreased trend observed from 2019 to 2020 by 7.81% which can be the result of many initiatives towards reducing CO2 emission and one of them is electrification of vehicle across the country i.e. increased sale of electric vehicles in 2019-20 by 16.52%.
Electric Vehicle Engineering requires multidisciplinary expertise like electrical, mechanical, automobile, power electronics, electronics & communication, and computer engineers. Multidisciplinary expertise required just because vehicle electrification involved Electric vehicle system engineering, Battery modelling and simulation, electric vehicle fleet planning, EV truck integration and e-Bus System Planning and Optimization etc.
Looking at current status on vehicle electrification across the globe, we expect sales of 6.4 million EVs in 2021, a growth of 98 % over 2020 and by the end of 2021 we expect over 16 million EVs in operation. Proportional to this statistics, Employment growth is also expected in most occupations in the electric vehicle industry mainly in manufacturing and the domestic energy sector. New types of automobile manufacturing jobs will also be created; however, many of these jobs will be filled by current employees or those that were displaced by recent downsizing of the automobile manufacturing industry. Therefore skilling existing and fresh manpower on all EV segments especially in operation is required and so, there is a need for online / offline courses on electric vehicles which will serve the need of future EV industry.
Students from ITI in diesel and motor mechanics, electrician trade, professionals from automobile service centres i.e. Automobile dealerships can opt pManifold’s EV academy course on Garage program which will provide you with knowledge and hands-on experience in retrofitting an existing ICE 4-W vehicle with electric power train, specially customised and procured as a single order purchase. Doctorate, Post graduate, Engineering and diploma Students, researchers and professors from academia, Auto OEM employees / professional can take benefit of other online courses on electric vehicle like electric vehicle system engineering, battery modelling and simulation, electric bus system planning and optimization and e – Truck integration – Pure electric and Fuel Cell. These courses will prepare all the students aspiring career in EV industry and professional from EV industry for upcoming challenges and opportunities in the field of Electric and Autonomous Vehicles.
