Semi-finals in the world’s biggest competition for workshop personnel
VISTA – Volvo Trucks’ and Volvo Buses’ worldwide competition and training programme for mechanics and service personnel – has now reached the semi-finals. They are being held at seven locations on five continents. A record 3500 teams from 70 countries have been gradually reduced to about 150 teams and 600 participants. The winners will go on to the world finals in Göteborg this June.
VISTA is the biggest training programme of its kind in the world, and its main aim is to enhance the expertise of mechanics as well as of spare parts personnel, administrators and warranty staff. High competence in the service organisation is an important component in Volvo Trucks’ and Volvo Buses’ total offer. This applies equally well in the current economic downturn since service requirements grow as many customers postpone the renewal of their vehicle fleets.
“By the time the VISTA world champions are announced this June, the competition will have involved more than 300,000 hours of training, much of that in employees’ free time since the competitors have often been immensely dedicated and highly motivated,” says Johanna Lundberg, overall project manager for VISTA.
