The Automotive Retailers Association aims to address the growing need for specialized training in the automotive aftermarket service industry, particularly focusing on zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). As the industry transitions towards electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, including medium and heavy-duty options, there is a pressing demand for accessible learning content and resources. This project seeks to develop an AI-powered rapid response training program that equips automotive service professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively repair, service, and recycle ZEVs. By leveraging AI technology, the program will provide dynamic and interactive learning experiences, ensuring that learners can quickly adapt to the evolving landscape of the automotive industry. The goal is to create a comprehensive training solution that is both scalable and adaptable, meeting the diverse needs of the industry while promoting sustainable practices.

The project will deliver a fully functional AI-powered training program tailored for the automotive aftermarket service industry. Key deliverables include a curriculum outline covering essential topics related to ZEV repair and service, interactive learning modules utilizing AI technology, and a set of assessment tools to evaluate learner progress. Additionally, the project will produce a user guide for instructors and learners, ensuring seamless implementation and utilization of the training program. The final deliverable will be a report summarizing the development process and providing recommendations for future enhancements.
