SMH Fleet Solutions has rolled out electric vehicle skill training for technicians across its sites while also increasing EV charging capability.

The training provides SMH technicians with in-depth knowledge and practical experience on EVs and hybrids

The fleet services company has partnered with RWC, a training provider based in Milton Keynes, to deliver a comprehensive learning and development programme, ensuring its technicians are qualified on the latest EV technologies.

The training provides in-depth knowledge and practical experience on EVs and hybrids, and technicians will receive an IMI qualification at the end of the course.

The business is also increasing EV charging capability across its sites.

The company said its work would ensure SMH is well-positioned to continue to be a responsive partner in a rapidly changing fleet market.

Mark Elliott, quality director at SMH Fleet Solutions, commented: “With EV volumes rising both in-life and at defleet, it’s essential that our teams across the UK have the skills to enable them to work safely and efficiently with all kinds of electric vehicles. The EV training is part of a company-wide programme of improvement to create a best-in-class performance.”
