EV Safety Training for Electrified Heavy Equipment Fleets
DEKRA provides electrified heavy equipment safety training tailored for industrial fleets, terminal operators, terminal technicians, and material handling environments.
Electrification is transforming terminals, ports, logistics operations, and industrial fleets.
Electric forklifts, reach stackers, top handlers, yard tractors, terminal tractors (UTR – Utility Tractor Rigs), straddle carriers, electric buses, hybrid platforms, and other electrified light- and heavy-duty equipment now operate in high-demand environments where downtime and safety incidents carry real operational consequences.
Standard EV awareness programs are not enough.
Heavy equipment operations require structured training built around your specific equipment, environment, and job roles.
Built for Industrial & Terminal Environments
This program supports:
This program supports:
- Terminal and port operators
- Material handling and logistics operations
- Industrial fleet owners
- Mechanics, engineers and safety leaders
- Equipment operators and maintenance teams
Training is aligned to real-world operating conditions, not generic vehicle platforms.
Tailored to Your Equipment and Operations
Every engagement is built around the customer’s actual equipment, operating environment, and workforce responsibilities.
We design a program that reflects:
- Your equipment types
- Your operating risks
- Your maintenance procedures
- Your workforce roles and responsibilities
2-Day Immersive Training Experience
Our program combines classroom instruction with hands-on practical application to ensure technicians and operators can safely:
Our program combines classroom instruction with hands-on practical application to ensure technicians and operators can safely:
- Work on and operate electrified heavy equipment
- Perform lockout/tagout procedures for high voltage equipment
- Identify equipment-specific hazards
- Understand how charging behavior affects high-voltage battery health, performance, and safety
- Apply PPE and safe work practices
- Respond to emergency scenarios involving electric equipment
Classes can be structured for operators, technicians, supervisors, or maintenance teams.
Compliance & Workforce Readiness
Training aligns with NFPA 70E principles, OSHA General Duty Clause expectations, and industry best practices for electrified equipment operations.
Training aligns with NFPA 70E principles, OSHA General Duty Clause expectations, and industry best practices for electrified equipment operations.
The goal is workforce readiness — helping your teams work safely while keeping operations moving.
Define Your Electrified Equipment Safety Framework
If your organization operates electrified heavy-duty equipment, now is the time to align safety training with operational risk.
