Craig Van Batenburg, CEO of
ACDC and a veteran of hybrid car service,
training and a technical writer, will speak at the
International
BIG R Show in Las Vegas on October 30,
2011.
APRA President, Bill Gager, stated,
“Craig Van Batenburg has been teaching hybrid technology
in classrooms for over 11 years and now that his
company, ACDC, owns a Chevrolet VOLT Craig has created a
new class on electric vehicles (EV) that will get you up
to speed on the new crop of affordable electric
vehicles: Chevy VOLT, Nissan LEAF, Mini E, Tesla and the
Mitsubishi.”
Van Batenberg commented, “The future of hybrid
vehicles offers great opportunities for remanufacturers
who are prepared to learn and familiarize themselves
with the new technologies. Hybrid and future electrical
powertrains will dramatically change vehicles to the
extent that only remanufacturers who are embracing these
changes will continue to enjoy a sustainable business.”
Hear firsthand what is happening in this rapidly
changing world of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, electric and
other advanced technology cars. Van Batenberg will be focusing
on getting you up and running in the EV segment so that
you will feel ready for EV technology in whatever
segment of the automotive world that you find
yourself.
