The Toyota Mirai is the centerpiece of CEC funding for American River College in Sacramento.
Ben French, Co-Chair of the college’s Automotive Technology Program, completed a training course in January that allowed him to update the college’s curriculum throughout the rest of the semester.
“The highlight of the class was a complete removal and reinstallation of the high pressure hydrogen storage tanks using Toyota specialty tools,” French said. “This course provided me with invaluable information that I am using to shape the future curriculum and equipment needs of the American River College AFV Training Program.”
New classes in the works include Electric Vehicle Construction, Diagnosis, and Repair, and Advanced Hybrid and EV Technology.
The college also plans to install a CNG fueling station and has already submitted a requisition for the purchase.
