Götaland Engineering is proud to announce the launch of the e-Powertrain Project, a collaborative initiative dedicated to shaping the next generation of electric powertrain engineering training. As the automotive industry transitions to sustainable mobility, the demand for skilled professionals in battery systems, propulsion, and energy storage is growing rapidly. This project aims to bridge the skills gap by designing a flexible, accessible, and industry-aligned training framework.
Preparing Engineers for the Green Transition
The shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is transforming the mobility sector, creating a need for specialized expertise in electric powertrain systems. Many engineers working with internal combustion engines (ICE) must reskill to remain competitive in the evolving job market. However, existing training programs are often limited in accessibility, especially for engineers from SMEs, underrepresented groups, and regions without strong automotive industries.
The e-Powertrain Project will develop a comprehensive course framework to address these challenges. It will focus on key areas such as system engineering, propulsion systems, energy storage, and life cycle management while ensuring the training format is inclusive and adaptable to different learning needs.
Innovative Learning for a Changing Industry
To ensure accessibility and engagement, the project will explore modern e-learning formats, including:
🔹 Asynchronous learning – Self-paced modules that allow learners to study at their convenience.
🔹 Gamification – Interactive elements like quizzes and challenges to boost engagement.
🔹 Microlearning – Short, focused lessons that enhance knowledge retention.
These formats will make the training program flexible for professionals balancing work and education while ensuring high-quality learning experiences.
Strong Partnerships for a Lasting Impact
Collaboration is at the heart of this initiative. Götaland Engineering will work closely with LATRA EE, an expert in digital learning and inclusion, to create a course framework that meets both technical and accessibility standards. The project will also engage industry stakeholders, educational institutions, and digital content providers to ensure the training aligns with real-world needs.
In Eskilstuna, Sweden, a dedicated dissemination event will bring together universities and digital content providers to prepare for the next phase of the project. Employers, particularly from Sweden’s west coast automotive hub, will participate online, ensuring that industry voices play a key role in shaping the training content.
Laying the Foundation for Future Training
This project is just the beginning. The course framework developed will set the stage for a full-scale training program designed to equip engineers with the critical skills needed for the EV industry. The long-term goal is to make this training widely available through digital platforms, expanding opportunities for engineers across Europe.
Stay tuned as we embark on this journey to drive innovation in electric powertrain engineering training! 🚀⚡
