The Vehicle Mobility course explores the key factors required to support the growth and integration of electric and hybrid vehicles within modern transportation systems. Learners will examine the infrastructure needed for electric vehicle operation, including road charging networks and home charging solutions, as well as the policies and regulations that support the transition toward environmentally friendly transport.
The course also covers the environmental impact of electric and hybrid vehicles throughout their lifecycle, from manufacturing and component production to vehicle use, maintenance, battery life, reuse, recycling, and end-of-life processes. Learners will investigate how materials can be recovered or reused and how battery life can be improved to reduce environmental waste.
In addition, the course introduces alternative efficient fuel systems, including developments in fuel cell technology. Learners will evaluate the potential advantages and current limitations of fuel cells as a power source for electric vehicles and consider how these technologies may contribute to the future of sustainable mobility.
This unit is suitable for Level 3 learners and provides a strong foundation for understanding the future of vehicle mobility, sustainable transport, and emerging automotive technologies.
