The Universidad Politécnica de Querétaro (UPQ) received an electric car to be incorporated into its Electromobility Laboratory. The objective will be for young people to learn the handling and maintenance of electric batteries.
According to the Government of Querétaro, the investment was 414,120 pesos, which is part of the program “Contigo, Proyectos Educativos Querétaro 2024” (With you, Querétaro 2024 Educational Projects).
The plan’s focus is to level the skills of the students according to the needs of the industry, as well as to establish strategic alliances with the productive and governmental sector by offering training and diploma courses.
Electric Vehicle Laboratory
In February 2024, the university launched its electric vehicle laboratory, which has the only battery simulator for electromobility in Mexico.
The space aims to foster collaboration with industry to provide hands-on learning opportunities and encourage innovation in battery technology, electric system management, charging infrastructure and the connection between mobility and sustainability.
Through this laboratory, the collaboration between academia and industry is promoted to generate practical learning.
The university authorities explained that it is also expected to promote battery technology, management of electrical systems, charging infrastructure and the link between sustainability and mobility.
For its development it was supported by the State Program for the Development of Technology and Innovation (Pedeti), said the Secretary of Sustainable Development (Sedesu), Marco Antonio Del Prete Tercero.
