Automotive
The automotive program at PHILLY-TECH provides training in the manufacturing and production of most components for automobiles such as: engines and bodies but excludes tires, batteries, and fuel. PHILLY-TECH offers learning programs for Electrical and Hybrid; Auto Mechanic; Body Work; Heavy Equipment mechanic; Heavy Equipment Operator.
Electrical and Hybrid Cars
At PHILLY-TECH, students will learn how electrical motors function in electric vehicles and how to maintain them. In contrast, students will learn about Hybrid electric vehicles which are powered by an internal combustion engine and an electric motor and uses energy stored in batteries. Student will learn how the battery is charged through regenerative braking and by the internal combustion engine. Students will also learn how a hybrid automobile uses a mix of fuel and electric power to combine propulsion in order to provide increased fuel performance. The advantages of a hybrid motor include comparatively less fuel usage and reduced Carbon Dioxide emission and more environmental than traditional gasoline or diesel-engine vehicle.
