Futuristic thoughts?
Dec 4th, 2017 at 4:57pm  
Bold statements.......

The day of the fossil fuel engine is numbered. Especially here In The U.K.
The world can resist and wrestle all it wants but futile.
The dawn of electric networked vehicles is upon us.
Whatever you’ve learned on the combustion engine needs to be resigned to classic vehicles within 15yrs or less.
This does not mean Pico will become obsolete. Far from it imvvho.
All vehicle techs will need to be  licensed or registered not dissimilar to electricians due to the high potentially lethal shock scenarios.

Time? Fades away and dawns.


Money men can cling to oil related revenue. But the tides turning

All comments welcome. Time will tell and judge this one?

Doesn't scare me a bit, the more electrical the happier I will be. Cheesy

Never meant it to be scarey? I know you’ll embrace it Mike/Bill and others here Smiley

The electrical part doesn't scare me either. I am concerned though about the training that will come with it, quality training I mean.

I'm curious, how available it training on the commercial/heavy duty side?

I’ve had limited hybrid training on cars.

Circa 600amps pulled by the motor on the car presented to us.
Full faced visors to minimise arcing to soft wet spots, eyes lips etc
Full rubber gauntlets NO HOLES EVEN PIN HOLES to prevent arcing
Rubber boots.
Full rubber sheathed spanner’s and socketry etc

Simulated faults presented to us all simple enough but no Pico stuff.

It left big holes/questions tbh. That was further training courses. All aftermarket stuff.

The trade has been "evolving" since the model T
It's just stepped up the pace in the last generation.

Look at all our obsolete tools we had and the required needed now and in the future?

I look back at my obsolete skills like rebuilding alternator and starters, recently used the skills to read flash fault codes, reading mechanical verniers

But then, I'm a dinosaur on the way out and yet still 11 years away from retiring and yet still in high demand for my old and new skills
