Deployment of Electric Vehicles Ignites New Auto Tech and Safety Programs

Jeff Murphy WARRENSBURG, MO, Aug. 18, 2011

From the front view, the Newton, built in North Kansas City by Smith Electric Vehicles, looks like any other urban delivery truck -- the type that transports packages across town, or carries a full load of soft drinks and even snack items such as potato chips to the local supermarket. But take a closer look under the cab and along the chassis and you'll discover what makes this vehicle different. You'll see why it not only runs quieter than most trucks its size and releases zero emissions, but can achieve speeds up to 50 miles per hour at a range in excess of 100 miles - all without a drop of gas.

“We’ve developed a new certificate program for these vehicles, which is incorporated into the curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Automotive Technology Management degree,” said Scott Wilson, program coordinator. “The students who complete the B.S. degree will also complete the certificate.”

The other university partner in the three-year federal grant, the Missouri Safety Center, is under the direction of Terry Butler. He said the center’s role in this partnership is to develop non-academic safety awareness training short courses designed to educate individuals on safety concerns related to advanced electric drive vehicles (AEV), including hands-on driver safety training. These courses will include educational outreach to AEV fleet purchasers, AEV technicians and maintenance personnel, AEV drivers (year one); law enforcement and emergency management services personnel (year two) and the general public (year three).

For more information about the Automotive Technology Management Program, contact Wilson at 660-543-4065. To learn more about programs offered by the Missouri Safety Center, contact Butler at 660-543-4213.
