The IMI and ITN Productions have partnered together to produce a news-style programme entitled ‘Driving Change’, which looks at new technologies, flourishing career opportunities and the desire to move towards a fully licensed and regulated industry.
The film, hosted by newsreader and presenter Natasha Kaplinksy, explores four key areas of the motor industry:
- Business Opportunities
- Synchronising with Customers
- Powering the Future
- Innovation
Organisations and companies from the automotive industry were approached by the IMI to help put the film together.
Powering the Future
The Institute of the Motor Industry is a strong supporter of industry training at all levels, from apprentices, to experienced technicians who need to upgrade their skills. Powering the Future features a special report on the urgent need for licensed training for technicians working with electric and hybrid vehicles. The case studies and interviews examine the imperative of skills development and training, and ground-breaking developments in more sustainable powertrain fuels and technologies.
