According to the local media La Tercera, the program, promoted by the brand represented and distributed by Andes Motor in Chile, is taught by the Kaufmann Group Training Center.
The initiative promotes learning and education in electromobility, preparing professionals to drive, maintain and operate this type of vehicles, in response to the growing demand for cleaner and more efficient transportation solutions.

Rodrigo Sepúlveda, Manager of Buses and Vans at Andes Motor, expressed his satisfaction at being pioneers in the creation of this training center for the region, which will boost the development of specialized talent in Chile and benefit all of Latin America.
“At Foton, we are committed to providing the tools and knowledge necessary for more people to join us in our mission to build greener and smarter cities through sustainable mobility,” he said.
The new space has all the infrastructure and elements necessary for learning. The theoretical and practical course is divided into three levels, aimed at drivers, technicians and operators of electric bus fleets.
The classes will address key aspects such as diagnostics, disconnection of the high voltage network, repair and recognition of electrical components.
In addition, participants will be able to interact with a detailed model of one of the electric buses currently circulating in Santiago, called “Bus Escuela Foton”, which will allow them to learn about its characteristics in a didactic way.
