Dr. Irfan Ahmad Gondal, Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Skills University (NSU) has completed the “International Training Course on China’s New Energy Vehicle Technology”. Held in Beijing, China from 15 to 29 April 2024, the workshop was organized by the ECO Science Foundation (ECOSF) in collaboration with the New Energy Vehicle Innovation Center of China (NEVC).
The strong curriculum attracted participants from various countries including Turkey, Iran, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, Australia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Dr. Gondal participated in a knowledge sharing session led by technologists from Chinese universities and electric vehicle (EV) industry experts. The curriculum covers many areas related to new energy vehicle technology and provides valuable insight into the latest developments in the EV industry.
One of the most enriching aspects of course was the opportunity for participants to visit famous EV brands in China such as Great Wall Motors (GWM), BYD and Geely.
