"Vehicle Technology - You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet!"

In this session we will explore the ever-increasing systems affected by electronic controls and the most recent mechanical innovations for the automobile. Some current and many technologies in development will be presented in this interesting and informative session. A few things sure to peak the curious minds of owners, advisors, estimators and technicians of automotive service and collision repair facilities.

  • Next Generation Hybrids
  • Electric Vehicles
  • Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles
  • Diesel Exhaust Fluid
  • Refrigerant Lubricants
  • Vehicle to Vehicle Communications
  • Vehicle to Infrastructure Communications

These and many other technologies offer opportunities of the future. Be sure you are prepared for those that you view as advantageous for your business. If you have not already seen these technologies enter your facility, you will soon. Don't let this stuff kick your butt.
 
This seminar was presented to a standing-room only audience at NACE 2008 in Las Vegas.
