No one wants to believe about being involved in a car crash. But if the unimaginable happens while you’re behind the wheel of an electric vehicle, will first-responders know what they should not do in the midst of all that unknown equipment? Chevrolet–maker of the the latest Volt–and its partners at On Star apparently want to made confident they do, as Chevy recently announced it will be offering the first automotive manufacturer-sponsored training program for first-responders countrywide focused on electric vehicle technology.
The announcement was made lately from leaders of Chevrolet, On Star, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) and the National Emergency Number Association (NENA).Training sessions will feature the Chevrolet Volt and will begin at the IAFC’s Fire-Rescue global Conference, Aug. 23-27 in Chicago, continue at the Association of Public-Safety infrastructure Officials conference Aug. 1-4 in Houston, and conclude at the NENA conference, June 5-10, 2011 in Indianapolis. Chevrolet and On Star will also host first-responder sessions in Volt retail markets afterward this year including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit and Washington, D.C.
The training will comprise animation and illustrations of the Chevrolet Volt, highlighting locations of high-strength steel, cut points for disconnection, first-responder labeling, automatic and instruction manual electrical shut-off and more. We assume that this training series will be appropriate to other electric vehicles besides the Volt, but whether it gives first-responders a knob on how to rescue those trapped in a Leaf or a Roadster remains to be seen.
