Training 54 www.aftermarketonline.net SEPTEMBER 2025 Delphi Academy has reinforced its position as a leader in vehicle technician training with the addition of a hydrogenpowered Toyota Mirai to its fleet of training vehicles. As one of the most advanced hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on UK roads, the Mirai brings cuttingedge technology to the workshop floor, giving technicians invaluable hands-on experience with real-world fuel cell systems. It’s a milestone moment for Delphi Academy and a powerful signal of where the aftermarket is headed. With global momentum building around hydrogen as a clean propulsion source, Delphi is committed to giving independent workshops the tools, knowledge and confidence to adapt. Based at its state-of-theart facility in Warwick, Delphi Academy is one of the UK’s only training centres offering dedicated hydrogen courses focused on the safe and effective servicing of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The academy’s two-day advanced hydrogen course covers the principles of both fuel cell and hydrogen internal combustion systems, alongside vital safety procedures such as leak detection and nitrogen purging. Practical tasks, including changing injector seals on Delphi’s proprietary hydrogen powertrain rig, immerse technicians in the hands-on reality of working with this high-pressure technology. Luke Garratt, Delphi’s UK technical services manager, said: “The Toyota Mirai is a standout example of hydrogen innovation. It allows technicians to work directly with the systems that are shaping the next generation of clean transport. “Integrating it into our Hydrogen Level 2 and forthcoming Level 3 qualifications means we’re not just talking about the future, we’re delivering it. “The future of vehicles won’t be defined by just one technology. We’re entering a mixed-energy era where petrol, diesel, hybrid, battery electric and hydrogen vehicles will all coexist.” Visit delphiautoparts. com or email training.uk@ PHINIA.com for details.
