LOS ANGELES — Universal Technical Institute (UTI) and Fisker Automotive have announced plans to provide technical training to Fisker dealership personnel at the UTI campus in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.
To support the anticipated release of Fisker’s Karma model, UTI said it expects to train approximately 100 technicians from Fisker’s U.S. dealers in spring 2011.
"At Universal Technical Institute, we have a passion for all things automotive, and we are honored to be involved in the launch of the Fisker Karma into the U.S. auto marketplace," said Greg Dickson, vice president of customer solutions and advanced training for UTI. "Fisker automobiles bring a technologically advanced platform that is coupled with design elements that will certainly turn heads. Being chosen to assist in the technical training and certification for the launch phase of this new brand is an exciting opportunity for UTI."
UTI will train Fisker technicians in several areas, including hybrid systems, routine maintenance, chassis, coachwork, roadside recovery, engine management and electrical systems.
The Fisker Karma is expected to make its dealer showroom debut this spring.
