MIDDLESEX, U.K.- Autocar’s original classroom on wheels has been an unqualified success. In 2007, it provided training to more than 800 technicians in over 300 locations, from New England to the West Coast. Beginning this spring, Autocar will add a second training trailer to help keep up with demand.

“The original trailer was a new concept for the waste industry,” said Trevor Bridges, Autocar vice president of quality and service support. “The idea was to make it easier and less expensive for people to be well trained by taking the instruction to them. It’s been a big hit, not only because of the convenience, but also because we tailor our training to meet specific customer needs.”

The new trailer is slightly larger and roomier than the original, and will provide the same capability to instruct waste industry technicians in a full range of Autocar truck diagnostics. The front of the trailer is a classroom that can accommodate around a dozen trainees at a time. The back of the trailer holds a complete Autocar cab assembly for diagnostics training, as well as trouble-shooting boards for specialty areas such as pneumatic systems.

To request training, go to www.autocartruck.com, and select Training on the homepage. The training trailer typically needs to be booked 90 days in advance.

Also, Autocar recently released a new brochure with an A-to-Z overview of Xpeditor features and capabilities. The brochure includes details about Autocar’s updated ACX cab and industry-leading 2007 engines, as well as training and turning radius details.
