April 27, 2011— The国家消防协会（NFPA），雪佛兰和onstartoday announced the launch of its virtual electric vehicle safety training for first responders. The online training — which is hosted by NFPA and can be accessed athttp://www.evsafetytraining.org/training- 在全新2011上的最新技术和安全系统中进行内部查看雪佛兰Volt，一辆具有扩展范围功能的电动汽车，去年秋天撞到了道路。
与Chevrolet和Onstar的合作源于NFPA的电动汽车安全培训计划，这是美国能源部提供440万美元赠款的结果，该计划支持美国越来越多的电动汽车。
NFPA和雪佛兰/OnStar began collaboration last fall with a national tour that included a series of live training sessions featuring the Chevrolet Volt. The launch of the virtual training is a result of months of research and development between Chevrolet and OnStar training specialists, engineers, firefighters and subject matter experts associated with NFPA. Firefighters and first responders who use the online training will have access to an interactive training session including videos, virtual trainers and a variety of downloadable resources about the technology and inner workings of the Chevrolet Volt.
“We are excited to launch this invaluable training resource with Chevrolet and OnStar,” said Andrew Klock, NFPA’s senior project manager for the program. “With electric vehicles hitting the road across the country, this interactive training gives firefighters and first responders easy access to resources and materials necessary when it comes to the new Chevrolet Volt. This virtual training is an important part of our overall electric vehicle education program, which provides training to firefighters and first responders in a variety of formats to ensure that it’s accessible to all.”
“The launch of this training and our partnership with the NFPA is an important part in reaching firefighters and first responders with information about the Chevrolet Volt,” said Gay Kent, GM director of vehicle safety for Chevrolet. “Our objective with the training is for firefighters and first responders to be as comfortable working around electric vehicles, like the Chevrolet Volt, as they are today with conventional vehicles.”
NFPA目前正在全国各地的少数几个地点举办自己的现场飞行员培训课程，并为所有消防员进行培训，急救人员将于今年夏天在全国范围内开放。
