Autodata introduces integrated technical training

The automotive industry is no stranger to change. No more has this shone through than in the ever-changing technology introduced by manufacturers. Technology that the workshop needs to keep abreast of to remain successful.

Who remembers the 1970s, when stricter emission controls were introduced? Or the 1980s, the era of computerised engine management? Next, we witnessed the growing impact of environmental consciousness, with the introduction of hybrid powertrains in the late 1990s.

Today the change is upon us once more

The concerted switch to EVs, the push for ever-more driver aids, connected cars, self-driving vehicle concepts – the list feels endless. The point is, change is relentless, so how do we adopt, adapt and improve to flourish?

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of supporting automotive workshops, Autodata is launching the upgrade of technical training, a major step towards even greater efficiency in challenging times of constant technical change.
Autodata is considered the leading provider of technical data for vehicle servicing, maintenance and diagnostics. With information sourced directly from the manufacturers, all vehicle technical data is comprehensive and prepared in a structured format, making it easy for service technicians and technical advisors to use and quickly access the information they need to do their job.

Autodata Technical Training contains more than 350 online technical training videos

Other well-covered training topics include hybrid and electric vehicles, mastering vehicle starting systems as well as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Currently the most popular training topics are Understanding plug-in hybrids, Introduction to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), Brake system basics, Automatic transmission operations and Tyre fitting best practice.
