Deutz Partners With Tech College To Combat Technician Shortage

摘要

Deutz and Gwinnett Technical College of Lawrencev-ille, Ga., are helping students in the College's Heavy Diesel Service Technician program prepare for their future careers. As part of the new Deutz Technical Education Partnership, Deutz has donated seven diesel engines to the program, giving students hands-on experience with modern technology. "Our industry is suffering from a lack of well-trained technicians," said Robert Mann, Deutz president and CEO. "Off-highway diesel engine emission regulations have become increasingly stringent, necessitating the use of electrical controls and exhaust after-treatment systems. As a result, diesel engine technicians need additional in-depth training." Gwinnett Tech's Heavy Diesel Service Technician Program educates students on both theory and diagnosis of the basic diesel engine systems found in heavy equipment, safety, and fuel systems.
