Our Erasmus+ KA2 Partnership Project Has Been Approved
The Erasmus+ project, in which we are a partner institution of the Innovative Sustainable Development Association, has been approved. The Erasmus+ KA210-VET project, "New Applications According to 4.0 Standards in Electric Vehicle Technologies," aims to develop digital training materials in the field of electric vehicle technology and will last seventeen months.
This project will be carried out in partnership with institutions in Türkiye and Romania, and is an important step towards following developments in electric vehicle technologies and creating digital training materials.
FUTURE TECHNICAL STAFF WILL BE TRAINED WITH THE EVTA.40 PROJECT
The project numbered 2023-2-TR01-KA210-VET-000180148, "New Applications According to 4.0 Standards in Electric Vehicle Technologies," prepared in partnership with the Innovative Sustainable Development Association and Romania under the coordination of the Hacı Hasan Kovuk Vocational Training Center within the scope of Erasmus+ KA2, was accepted. Association President Ali ÜÇÖZ and members attended the two-day project opening meeting on behalf of YESKAD.
According to reports from the International Energy Agency (IEA), more than 60% of vehicles sold worldwide are expected to be electric by 2030. Türkiye's commitment to keeping up with this global trend and encouraging the use of electric vehicles is a significant step for the environment and human health.
According to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat), the number of electric vehicles registered in Türkiye by the end of 2023 had increased by approximately 570% compared to the previous year, reaching 80,043 units. One of the main factors driving this increase is the environmentally friendly and economical advantages offered by electric vehicles. The goal is for 1 in 10 vehicles sold in Türkiye to be electric by 2024.
There is a need for highly qualified professionals who understand the technologies that Digital Transformation will bring and who can incorporate this knowledge into their professional skills. A project was developed to train export-capable personnel who continuously follow and learn from these developing technologies, and to develop the educators who will train these professionals in the professional field. The project aims to develop training modules, documents, training videos, and an e-learning platform.
We would like to thank Vice President Akif Emre Duman, our members Seher Omaç, Fuat Baltacı, Hayrunnisa Büşra Erdem, and our volunteers Canan Erdem, Hatice Şenay Diriarın, Ali Can Cücü, and Melek Cücü for their participation in the meeting.
As YESKAD, we successfully held the third Transnational Meeting of our Erasmus+ KA2 project, of which we are a partner institution.
At the meeting, we evaluated the project activities and planned the next steps.
We would like to thank President Ali ÜÇÖZ, Vice President Akif Emre DUMAN, Secretary Bilal GÜZEL, our members Sami ALTAŞ, Abuzer AKBULUT, Fuat BALTACI, Hacı Mehmet ŞİMŞEK, and Prof. Dr. Özgür KARATAŞ, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Murat KÖSEOĞLU, and all stakeholders for their support in our project work.
YESKAD Participated in the Bucharest Meeting of the Electric Vehicle Technologies Project
The second transnational meeting of the Erasmus+ KA2 supported project “New Applications According to 4.0 Standards in Electric Vehicle Technologies”, which aims to develop digital transformation and innovative modules in electric vehicle technologies, was held in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.
The meeting was hosted by SC Promotor Real Service SRL, one of the project partners. A total of 10 experts attended the meeting, including representatives from Türkiye's Hacı Hasan Kovuk Vocational Training Center and the Innovative Sustainable Development Association (YESKAD). Three YESKAD representatives contributed to sustainability-focused digital training content and e-learning approaches.
The meeting addressed numerous technical topics, including battery systems, engine control units, inverters, regenerative braking systems, and IoT-based diagnostic solutions used in electric vehicle technologies. It was decided that the training modules to be developed would be made available openly on a modern e-learning platform.
In addition, the project aimed to support zero-carbon emission transportation systems in line with the European Green Deal targets and to provide equal education opportunities, especially for disadvantaged groups.
The meeting was considered an important step towards creating a digital and environmentally friendly educational infrastructure in electric vehicle technologies.
