More and more Kiwis are opting for hybrid or electric vehicles. Staying current with new technologies is more crucial – and more challenging – than ever for independent workshops. With the rise of hybrids, plug-in hybrids, fully electric vehicles, and even hydrogen fuel cells, the demands on workshops are increasing exponentially. 
No longer is it just about mechanical repairs; now, it’s about understanding complex electronics, advanced diagnostics, and specialised repair techniques. From advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to sophisticated thermal management, keeping up with these advancements requires constant learning and investment.
GPC are well placed under their NAPA and Repco Trade businesses to help Independent Workshops to stay current with Hybrid, Electric and ADAS future technologies. Their industry-leading training program, in conjunction with Unitec is already offered to workshops throughout NZ, and their ever-growing catalogue of specialist equipment and consumables provides the know-how to tackle this popular segment of the servicing market.
To this end they have introduced the international banner group NexDrive to the New Zealand market, to provide the platform to market to this future forward customer set.
