Our team is delighted: eight colleagues have successfully passed the exam for the "big" drone license. They spent four months preparing for it, first acquiring the "small" A1/A3 license and then learning theory, practicing flights and exchanging ideas in self-study. The team was supported on the day of the exam by the KopterZentrale company, which also conducted the exam. This further training measure for the A2 license was also financially supported by our company.
The Berufskolleg Jülich recently visited us at the Aldenhoven Testing Center. The classes that visited or will visit us on three dates are trainees in their 3rd year of training to become automotive mechatronics technicians. The young people had recently been studying driver assistance systems in class. Therefore, after a tour of the site, they were given explanations on how to test automated driving functions. Finally, each of the participants was allowed to perform an emergency braking maneuver with their own car on the ice-slick braking test track simulated with tiles.
How do you convince municipalities, companies and private users to switch to environmentally friendly trucks and commercial vehicles? By experiencing them. That's why the state company NRW.Energy4Climate invited interested parties to the test and driving event "Experience electric drives! Test and driving event for trucks and commercial vehicles" at our test center on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This company is working on the further development of electromobility in North Rhine-Westphalia on behalf of the NRW Ministry of Economic Affairs.
As summer is unfortunately still a long way off, we are taking you today to an exciting documentary about Team Sonnenwagen from Aachen and their participation in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in Australia in 2023: 3,022 km through the outback from Darwin to Adelaide in seven days.
With 54 pre-registrations, the response to the second edition of the bike race at the Aldenhoven Testing Center was very good. The weather forecast was also excellent with 17 - 19 °C and only a light wind.
