IC Bus, ASE to sponsor students for electric truck, bus safety certification

The purpose of the standards is to provide guidance, document and establish electrical safety requirements.

The ASE Education Foundation is partnering with IC Bus to sponsor 1,000 high school students and their instructors at ASE-accredited medium/heavy truck training programs to take ASE’s xEV Electrical Safety Awareness Certification Level 1 test, the companies announced.

The foundation says it will collaborate with schools and their local IC Bus dealers to promote high-tech careers in the truck and bus field, ensure that the students receive electric vehicle (EV) safety training and deliver testing vouchers for the students in the 2023-24 school year.
