ZF Aftermarket UK made a successful appearance at the UK Garage and Bodyshop Event (UKGBE) held on 5/6 June at the NEC in Birmingham. The event attracted many visitors keen to learn more about ZF’s latest training programmes and offerings.
A highlight was the new Nissan Leaf training vehicle, utilised to deliver IMI Level qualifications for hybrid and electric vehicle repair and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibration and diagnosis.
Darren Lloyd, Technical and Training Manager at ZF Aftermarket UK, said:
“We’re excited to have showcased our Nissan Leaf training vehicle, emphasising our commitment to providing essential industry qualifications. With over one million electric vehicles now registered on UK roads, it’s imperative that technicians are equipped with the skills to service these vehicles effectively.”
Workshops also had the opportunity to register for ZF [pro]Tech start for free at the show. This initiative is designed to enhance the skills of technicians and provide workshops with the resources they need to excel in the rapidly evolving automotive landscape.
ZF [pro]Tech start offers workshops exclusive benefits, including access to vehicle-specific installation instructions for over 15,000 models, up-to-date knowledge directly from the manufacturer, and technical tips and service hotline support.
Lloyd added: “It was fantastic to meet so many forward-thinking garages and technicians. Ongoing training is crucial for technicians to stay updated with the latest developments, effectively diagnose and repair modern vehicles, and continue offering high-quality service.
