Delphi Academy has announced the launch of a pioneering new hydrogen training course, marking a significant industry milestone.
This programme, developed using Delphi’s fuel system experience, knowledge of hydrogen internal combustion, and understanding of the UK aftermarket, is set to shape the future of hydrogen training across the industry.
The course, available as progression training for Delphi’s IMI Accredited Hydrogen Awareness course, will help to educate attendees in the new era of hydrogen internal combustion vehicles. David Guilfoyle, Technical Trainer at Delphi, said:
“Our engineering teams have been pivotal in helping the industry establish benchmarks for hydrogen training.”
The two-day ‘advanced hydrogen’ training session promises a greater comprehension of the fundamentals of hydrogen internal combustion and fuel cell operation. One of the practical tasks is to change the injector seals, which requires a unique procedure to purge the hydrogen.
Luke Garratt, UK Technical Services Manager at Delphi said:
“Hydrogen technology is a hot topic, yet there’s a lack of deep understanding about its role within the automotive sector, especially when compared to other renewable fuels,” “The key lies in identifying the appropriate fuel for each application and possessing the expertise and resources to maintain that technology.”
Neil Fryer, Vice President and General Manager for Global Aftermarket at Phinia, was the first delegate to complete and pass the advanced hydrogen training, he commented:
“For us, it’s about upholding the standards of the automotive aftermarket,” said Neil. “In an industry where hydrogen technology is a hot topic but often lacks deep understanding, Delphi stands at the forefront, offering the expertise and resources necessary to navigate this evolving landscape.”
