Program Overview
This instructor-led training provides an in-depth understanding of Flex Fuel and Compressed Biogas (CBG) systems in the automotive industry. It covers ethanol blending targets (E10, E20, E85), CBG production, engine compatibility, diagnostics, safety protocols, and real-life industry case studies. The training is designed to enhance technical readiness in fuel integration, vehicle conversion, compliance standards (AIS, IS, PESO), and troubleshooting techniques. Participants gain practical tools such as flow charts, checklists, and handbooks for field use.
Features
