Bosch Service Training Centre talks EVs on BBC Breakfast

The Bosch Service Training Centre has appeared on BBC Breakfast to discuss the shortage of electric vehicle technicians in workshops.

Some 90,000 automotive technicians will be required to provide sufficient workforce to service the volume of zero emissions vehicles predicted to be on UK roads by 2030, new analysis by the IMI suggests.
