South Korean multinational automobile manufacturer and India’s second-biggest car supplier, Hyundai Motor Company, recently announced the successful completion of the 2019 World Skill Olympics, which was held from 16th October to 18th October. This event was a platform for Hyundai’s top automotive service experts from around the world to go up against each other in an intense skills competition to improve their skills using systematic training and by sharing up-to-date information in a uniquely interactive environment. The Hyundai World Skill Olympics was first held in 1995 and ever since, this competition has been a much anticipated and celebrated gathering of Hyundai’s expert technicians, who compete for top prizes and honours.
During the main event, the contenders had to give a written test, which was purely based on products and repair procedures. After that, the participants had to give two rounds of practical tests, that included engine, electrical, chassis systems and components, along with multi-systems diagnosis and repair. The 2019 Hyundai World Skill Olympics was held at the Hyundai Cheonan Global Learning Center in Korea this week. This year’s event drew over 117 participants, including 66 entrants (dealer technicians) and 51 observers (dealer staffers) from more than 51 countries. All these participants hail from different parts of the world, which include North America, Central and South America, Europe and Russia, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa.
