The government has launched a new project to upskill engineering students to make the shift toward new electronic vehicles amid a $1.8 million (R30 million) pledge by the UK.
The project, called ‘Yakh’iFuture’, will prepare South African engineering students to work in the automotive components manufacturing industry.
The international trend toward electric vehicles is growing with Naamsa expecting that 40% of all European vehicle sales will be EVs by 2030. The UK has further invested $1.8 million specifically in the shift of South Africa’s automotive industry to new energy vehicles . It has been introduced in a trial amongst Technical, Vocational, Education and Training colleges and aims to generate a curriculum relevant to the global shift to non-internal combustion drive trains.
