The electric/electronic sector and new professions

Electronics in the car sector have developed strongly over the last twenty years or so, in terms of fittings and engine mechanisms. With the arrival of mass-produced electric and hybrid vehicles, electro-technology- and electronics-based professions will be part of manufacturers’ “core activities”, with the electric engine/battery combination as the new master part.

 

This technological transformation implies important changes in the organisation of the car sector. New practices, methods and expertise: numerous professions will thus evolve, from design to after-sales, not forgetting those linked to infrastructure and associated services.

 

In order to adapt to this new technological order, the players of the car world - manufacturers, OEMs and the commercial and after-sales networks – will resort to training, which is compulsory for personnel to requalify. Supply in terms of training keeps growing, which would indicate great prospects for employment and professional opportunities.

 

It’s certainly a reminder that the electric vehicle is not just a technical and technological adventure but also a story of men and women.
