Automotive Low Carbon Tech & Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Awareness

Set of two PowerPoints made for Level 1 Vehicle Maintenance and Repair course - The first covers Low Carbon technologies . There are 35 slides in total and makes use of the animations that PowerPoint offers. This lesson introduces the emissions that a car not only produces during its use, but also what is involved with making a car, maintaining a car and disposing of a car. Energy efficient topics are covered - Alternative fuels, hybrids, EV’s etc. and the recycling of end of life vehicles.

The second has 41 slides and covers hybrid and EV awareness and briefly touches on fuel cell vehicles. Essentially covers Hybrid/EV awareness, what makes them different and the dangers involved. Slide 18-21 is a little complicated for level 1, but a nice stretch challenge for brighter learners.

Be sure to use the slideshow feature or you’ll have a lot of overlapping images.

There are some slides that require answers to be revealed by clicking on the pictures or text - I have pointed these out in the slide comments.

I have also included a worksheet to accompany the lesson that can be printed out for students to complete, or sent to them via e-mail to complete on word.

I taught levels 1 up to 3 of Vehicle Maintenance & Repair at a further education college in the UK for 6 years delivering the IMI vehicle qualifications until Jan 2024 before I moved away from education.

I found the resources available to me when I started pretty poor and didn’t engage the students particularly well, so I made my own set of PowerPoints that cover pretty much all of it so far, so thought i’d share some of them up here and see if there’s any takers. If there is, i’ll put them all up and hopefully they’ll come in useful.

I don’t want to charge a ton for these, but a good few hours go into making these PowerPoints so i’m just getting a little pocket money for my time and hopefully they come in useful for others.
