EXPO GETS ELECTRIFIED

AAAExpo is set to feature a brand-new Expo Electrified feature zone

This exciting new feature zone for the Australian Auto Aftermarket Expo (AAAExpo) and Collison Repair Expo (CRE) will allow attendees to get up close and personal with EV/Hybrid service and repair on a whole new scale.
The exciting new Expo Electrified Zone will offer unique opportunities to learn about EV and hybrid service and repair with hands-on and practical demonstrations including live testing of EV motors and generators, all delivered by the experts from The Automotive Technician’s (TaT) EV and Hybrid Network.
TaT Technical Editor and Director, Jeff Smit, said Expo Electrified is a must for anyone looking to make sure they can best service their clients in this emerging space.
“Electrified vehicles are currently transforming from a trend to the mainstream, reshaping the roads and the way we can service our customers,” Jeff said.
“We are excited to bring real hands-on component testing to the Expo Electrified Zone, giving an opportunity for you to carry out real tests on real EV and Hybrid motors.”
Focused solely on EVs and Hybrids, Expo Electrified builds on the Workshop of the Future feature area which ran at Expo in 2022.
“Such is the pace of technological advancement in the EV and Hybrid space, and with vehicles increasingly Hybrid or EV powered – accounting for seven percent of new car sales in 2023 – the time is right for this growing and dynamic field to have its own dedicated space at our Expo,” Tiffany said.
Designed to give attendees exposure to the latest in EV technology and techniques, the Zone will also feature the latest in EV tools and workshop equipment, EV Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and display a Ford F-150 Lightning EV, provided by the Auto Innovation Centre (AIC).
“The value of getting ready for the EV evolution has never been clearer, and excitement around this new and rapidly evolving technology is building quickly,” AAAA Director of Membership, Marketing and Events, Tiffany Conway said.
“As such, we are very excited to offer the Expo Electrified Zone to technicians and workshop owners wanting to get ahead of the curve, and seeking the chance to learn from awesome teachers and state-of-the-art equipment at Expo.”
