FOND DU LAC, Wis. -- The growing library of technical training videos produced by Wells Vehicle Electronics surpassed 500,000 views last week on its YouTube channel. More than 400,000 of these views have been registered in 2010, reflecting the company’s aggressive new technical and brand marketing activities, according to Wells.

The “Wells Tech” training library is comprised of dozens of training segments designed to serve the needs of automotive technicians, parts professionals and do-it-yourselfers, the company said. Developed by the company’s Technical Services department, the Wells Tech series includes nearly 20 in-depth diagnostic case studies for professionals and DIYers, several vehicle systems reviews for parts professionals and a variety of programs exploring the design and production of modern engine management components.

These videos can be easily accessed on YouTube’s “WellsTech” page as well as on the award-winning www.WellsVE.com website.
