TOPDON donates EV diagnostic tools to UTI campuses
Donations were distributed to campuses in California, Texas, and Pennsylvania, and included products like the Phoenix Max diagnostic scanner and Tornado120000.
TOPDON US has expanded its partnership with Universal Technical Institute (UTI) by equipping campuses in California, Texas, and Pennsylvania with diagnostic tools for EV servicing and battery management.
“We’re excited to advance into the next phase of our partnership with UTI,” said Chad Schnitz, vice president of TOPDON USA. “According to Q1 2025 reports, electrified vehicle sales in the U.S. continue to climb year-over-year. As these vehicles age, we’ll need a skilled workforce to service and repair them. By supporting UTI’s EV training efforts, we’re helping prepare the next generation of automotive technicians to meet that demand.”
The campuses each received tools like the Phoenix Max diagnostic scanner and the Tornado120000 smart programming power supply, which are designed to let students work on voltage stabilization and diagnostics on 12V systems. Additionally, the company finished new brand installations at UTI’s Rancho Cucamonga and Sacramento, California campuses. TOPDON’s latest donations are part of its TOP-UP academic initiative, which was first established in 2022.
“At UTI-Rancho Cucamonga, we value industry partnerships that help us deliver hands-on learning experiences with the latest tools and technologies,” said Campus President Migdalia Vazquez. “TOPDON’s diagnostic equipment allows our students to train on real-world systems, including the increasingly complex EV drivetrains they’ll encounter in the field.”
