Bosch Automotive Aftermarkets inaugurated its second Technical Training Centre in India. Located in New Delhi and built with an investment of 30 million rupees in association with DEG Germany, the training centre will cater to the north Indian market. It will impart training to aspiring engineers, technicians, employees and customers thus enhancing their level of technical competence on emerging automotive technology and service to global standards.
Bosch has a 30 year long legacy of training automotive vehicle manufacturers, some of whom include TATA, ALL, Mahindra and Mahindra, Simpsons, Force motors technical institutes and its own service organisations.
Mr. S. Muralidharan, Vice President - Automotive Aftermarket, Bosch Limited said “We are witnessing a lot of change. The automotive industry has graduated from classic Ambassadors to ABS induced high performance cars, from carburetors systems to Electronic fuel injection systems and conventional mechanical braking to electronically controlled breaking. Emissions norms have become more stringent and there is greater focus on safe and economical driving resulting in a shift from conventional mechanical systems to modern electronic systems. This shift has lead to increased demand for automotive diagnostics. The industry at present however doesn’t possess adequate skilled manpower to cater to this increasing demand. It is anticipated that meeting this demand would require a trained workforce of 2.5 million technicians and mechanics by 2025. As industry leaders we are attempting to bridge this gap. We intend to transform technicians into knowledge workers by equipping them with skills and confidence needed for automotive service, diagnostic interrogation and resolution.”
