How can Jaltest Help the Diesel Technician Shortage
The diesel technician shortage is a pressing issue in today's industrial landscape. As the demand for engine diagnostics and repair continues to grow, the shortage creates a significant challenge for businesses and operators. In this blog post, we will explore how technology, specifically the Jaltest engine diagnostic tool, can help address this shortage by enhancing technician efficiency and providing comprehensive diagnostic solutions.
Understanding the Diesel Technician Shortage
As everyone already knows the COVID-19 pandemic really took a toll on the diesel technician market. Not to mention technicians retiring and the fact that working in the diesel industry is becoming less and less popular. However, thanks to the pandemic we are seeing demand skyrocket like never before. That means that semi-trucks, agricultural vehicles and more and being used more frequently. That leads to the equipment breaking down more often. As trucks become more technologically advanced, they also become more intricate and require increased maintenance. One example of this is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations for emissions standards in trucks. To comply with these standards, manufacturers have implemented various systems such as EGR, DPF, and SCR, each with their own unique specifications and components. Consequently, commercial trucks now have a higher number of potential failure points. Diagnosing problems takes more time due to the complexity, and repairing these issues demands a higher level of expertise and specialization.
The role of technology in addressing the shortage
Technology has always played a crucial role in transforming industries, and the diesel technician shortage is no exception. When new emission technology, models, or systems are introduced only dealers and major fleets have access to the training required to service newly introduced emission technology, models, or systems. This creates a gap where other individuals or businesses are left to navigate and understand these advancements on their own, without proper guidance or support.
