This course covers the theory of operation and service of hybrid, electric, and alternative fuel powered vehicles and light duty trucks. Topics include high voltage battery inspection and service, regenerative braking systems, electric climate control systems, motor/generator and drivetrain. Emphasis is placed on safety precautions necessary when servicing hybrid/electric and alternative fuels vehicles. In response to industry demand for technicians, students trained in the design, development, maintenance, diagnosis, and repair of alternative fuels vehicles will be able to obtain employment in related fields.
