Delphi Academy adds Toyota Mirai to training fleet
Delphi Academy has added a hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai to its fleet of training vehicles.
The Mirai is one of the most advanced hydrogen fuel cell vehicles on UK roads and will provide technicians with invaluable hands-on experience with real-world fuel cell systems.
Global momentum is building around hydrogen as a clean propulsion source, and this move underscores Delphi’s commitment to giving independent workshops the tools, knowledge and confidence to adapt.
Based at its state-of-the-art facility in Warwick, Delphi Academy is one of the UK’s only training centres offering dedicated hydrogen courses focused on the safe and effective servicing of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
It’s two-day advanced hydrogen course covers the principles of both fuel cell and hydrogen internal combustion systems, alongside vital safety procedures such as leak detection and nitrogen purging. Practical tasks, including changing injector seals on Delphi’s proprietary hydrogen powertrain rig, immerse technicians in the hands-on reality of working with this high-pressure technology.
Luke Garratt, UK technical services manager at Delphi, said: “The Toyota Mirai is a standout example of hydrogen innovation. It allows technicians to work directly with the systems that are shaping the next generation of clean transport. Integrating it into our Hydrogen Level 2 and forthcoming Level 3 qualifications means we’re not just talking about the future, we’re delivering it.”
He added:
“The future of vehicles won’t be defined by just one technology. We’re entering a mixed-energy era where petrol, diesel, hybrid, battery electric and hydrogen vehicles will all coexist. Our training reflects that complexity, and prepares technicians to thrive in it.”
