Automotive Industry Going Green Way (hybrid vehicle comparison)

By steve parker

 With the progression of civilization, numbers of vehicles continue to grow by leaps and bounds with each passing year. Any kind of industrial progress is bound to bring more of environmental concerns for everybody. The global industry forms the major production unit.

Every now and then, automobile industry is coming up newer concepts and producing new means of transportation. Cars, Buses, Electric Trams and many other ways of transportation have been developed. Every day with the discovery of new faster, safer, trendy and effective vehicles, the ever-increasing demand for the new means of transportation has been properly taken care of.

With the increasing demand in the production of the automobiles, a major concern which has emerged is of environmental pollution resulting from the direct gaseous emissions as well as from the indirect impacts resulting from the procedures employed in the production units. With the limited supply of the fossil fuels on the earth, the dependence on these ought to be curtailed for the sake of our next generations. Vehicles with improved efficiency and less independence on the fossil fuels are the need of the hour.

Newer and more efficient industrial procedures are being employed to reduce the indirect environmental pollution effect as well. To cater to these objectives, there are hybrid automobiles in the market that promise better performance and low environmental impact.

Biofuels are also gaining popularity as an alternate fuel. Solar powered automobiles and the hybrids in this context are also the ones which are not only going to reduce the dependence on the fossil fuels but also have the potential to make use of the immense and freely available source given by the nature to man, that is the solar energy. Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology is the latest and one of the most promising technologies of the future. A lot of progress on this front is already underway.

The prototypes have been developed with desirable results. However, as is the case with all the evolving technologies, it has its share of the problems. It however has the potential of meeting the future needs of energy not only of the automotives but other sectors as well. It is supposed to be a contender of the least polluting technology.

At Odenza Auto, we recognize the fact that lowest price tag is not enough to bring the potential customers into your auto dealer promotions.

Apprenticeship Programs Thriving at Centennial

By Michael McGraw

 As the largest transportation school in Canada, Centennial turns out about 1,000 car, truck and heavy-equipment technicians each year. In a recent article published in the Toronto Star, Chair Alan McClelland is quoted: There are multiple routes that people can take to become a tradesperson.

The article then goes on to describe the variety of apprenticeships offered at our Ashtonbee Campus. The Traditional Apprentice Route is popular for students who have a job where their employer provides on the job experience while they pursue their studies over a three or four year period. Non-Tradional Routes include the MAP 32 option where students receive 32 weeks of classroom training and four weeks of work placement with an employer such as Canadian Tire, Volvo and Freightliner. Block Release MAP Programs work in partnership with GM, Ford, Toyota and Honda and facilitate the training of these companies apprentices in the specific systems and technologies of their employers.

Co-op Apprenticeship Programs offer a two-year diploma course and allow high school graduates to take business and management classes as well as technical apprenticeship courses and work placements for automotive training, truck/coach and heavy-duty trades. Pre-Apprenticeship Programs are designed for people with barriers (such as language or numeracy) who might have difficulty finding employers.

The course offers 12 weeks of language and math upgrading, job-search skills and preparation for technical training. It then moves on to 12 weeks of Level 1 apprenticeship followed by a 12 week work placement. Visit http://www.centennialcollege.ca to find more information about college programs & Toronto degree.

Here the author Michael McGraw writes in detail about the programs of Apprenticeship offered in automotive schools, on automotive training. He further writes about the course and placements.
