Be prepared to serve the electric vehicle parc of the future with ZF

Become an Electrically Instructed Person with our new certified online training and ZF expertise!

When working on hybrid or electric vehicles, different, special high-voltage qualifications are recommended according to DGUV Information 200-006. This also includes all non-electrical work carried out on high-voltage vehicles, such as changing oil or wheels or replacing lamps (for which the level 1 qualification is required).

ZF Aftermarket has therefore developed an online training course in cooperation with the trade association. The training qualifies you as a person trained in electrical engineering (DGUV Information 200-006, level 1).

You will be sensitizsed and instructed in handling high-voltage systems in order to enable you to work safely on the vehicle. The aim of the training is to ensure that you can immediately and clearly identify the high-voltage components, understand the hazards they pose and are familiar with the component markings. The exact training contents can be viewed here.

New technologies require new expertise

Take advantage of our know-how from original equipment for hybrid vehicles and become a competent contact for e-mobility through the individually and interactively designed trainings. ZF Aftermarket offers trainings for research and development and non HV intrinsically safe vehicles as well as training courses for HV intrinsically safe vehicles.

Not HV-intrinsically safe means that complete protection against contact and arcing is not guaranteed. Accordingly, vehicles that have been involved in an accident are also considered non HV-intrinsically safe vehicles. The advantage for you as a training participant is that you are also qualified for work on HV-intrinsically safe vehicles and do not need any additional training.

The following trainings are offered for research and development and non HV-intrinsically safe vehicles:

1. Electrotechnical/expert instructed person
Target group: All persons who work with hybrid or electric vehicles
Contents: Training contents Electrically/expert instructed person.
Duration: approx. 2.5 hours.
