#1 Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Trainer
Lucas-Nuelle Partners with SkillsUSA — Get Your Students Involved!
ASE L3 Trainer “Light Duty Hybrid/Electric Vehicle Specialist” At SkillsUSA
There have been around 4 million hybrid and electric vehicles sold within the USA and sales are continuing to increase rapidly. With this demand for new technology and highly complex vehicles, current and future technicians must be prepared for the challenge of diagnosing and repairing these vehicles.
The LN trainer is one of the various automotive challenges of the SkillsUSA. The students must show their knowledge and diagnostic skills about hybrid and electric vehicles on the LN trainer, which is completely aligned to the ASE L3 curriculum. All topics related to the ASE L3 test are covered by the newest Hybrid/Electric Vehicle Trainer so your students will be prepared to take the certification test!
This state-of-the-art trainer blends comprehensive eLearning curriculum with experimental tasks to teach both theory and technical competencies.

Why is this HEV/EV Trainer your best choice?
Isn’t a “real” electric car a better way to learn?
Why is this HEV/EV Trainer your best choice?
- ASE L3 Certified - no other trainer is!
- Career Readiness: : Students learn to diagnose and resolve real-world faults in (1) hybrid, (2) electric, and (3) fuel cell vehicles!
- Student Safety: Students learn the proper procedures for SAFELY working on high voltage HEV/EV and fuel cell vehicles using low amperage which means that in no way can it cause any harm to students.
- It's all REAL! But SAFE. There is no way the equipment can hurt the student, or the student can hurt the equipment!
- Real voltages (300V) - but only milliamps for safety!
- Real three-phase inverter
- Real electric motors/generators
- Real resolver
- Real charging socket
- Real fault test procedures
- Real orange HV cables
- Real diagnostic tester
- You get the idea! No simulations.
- Complete ASE L3 aligned e-Learning curriculum with individual animations for each of the five drive trains, videos, and over 40 hands-on tasks! Never any subscription fees. Installs locally, on the intranet, or even on an LMS.
- Students learn the most important task of the complete shutdown process using a real HV service plug, 12V battery terminals, HV measuring points, and even a real car key.
- Students safely record real industry measurements using virtual measurement equipment (oscilloscope, ammeter, etc.) within the curriculum that easily connects via USB or Wi-Fi to the trainer. No expensive additional equipment is needed!
Isn't a "real" electric car a better way to learn?
Definitely NOT!
The #1 reason is SAFETY. The LN HEV/EV trainer allows students to gain confidence conducting real fault-finding training without putting themselves and others at risk from a high-voltage system. Once properly trained, your students will be able to confidently work safely on hybrid, electric, and fuel cell vehicles!
Another reason is that this trainer is flexible and designed to be used repeatedly without breaking down/setting-up equipment. Real vehicles, and even some other EV trainers, require lots of manual prep work. You would also be required to manipulate the system in order to put faults into it, risking total failure of the system and even thermal runaway of a cell in the HV battery.
Why should I include HEV/EV in my program?
Electric vehicles may not be in your future, but they WILL be in your students'! With over 10 million electric cars on the world's roads and growing, auto tech programs would be doing a disservice if they allowed students to leave their program without HEV/EV training.
What instruction areas does the LN HEV/EV Trainer address?
- Multiple types and operation of hybrid and electric vehicles
- Motor/generator operation with experiments and animations
- Battery management systems
- Drive systems
- Power electronics including inverters, DC to AC conversion and safe handling of HV systems
- Operating principle for interlock contacts
- Instructor Fault Insertion for trouble-shooting the system including traction battery, inverter, motor/generator, insulation, shielding of HV cables and equipotential bonding.
