Closing out 2024, the Porsche Center Puerto Rico hosted its “Técnico por un Día” program, aimed at students from the Racing Engineering College at the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus (RUM).
The main goal of this activity was to provide over 60 aspiring engineers with a hands-on experience in hybrid and electric vehicle technologies.
During the event, Porsche AG-certified technicians delivered an in-depth overview of the differences between conventional hybrid and plug-in vehicles, as well as the basics of these technologies and the transition toward fully electric cars.
