The NationaLease Tech Challenge, now in its eighth year, recognizes member company technicians with the opportunity to compete in a series of events testing their maintenance knowledge and skills. This exam, which member company technicians completed on March 14, is the preliminary step to qualify for the title of NationaLease Top Tech.
The truck will provide students with hands-on opportunities to learn how to work on heavy-duty BEVs, expanding the college’s program from just light-duty EVs.
