Laramie-based trade school WyoTech on Thursday unveiled an expansion of its diesel mechanic program with partner Kenworth Trucks. It’s a partnership that includes a $2 million lineup of custom-built trucks created just for WyoTech’s program.
Each of the trucks has the very latest bells and whistles, according to Kenworth Technical School Program Manager Darren Erickson, and the trucks will be updated on a regular basis for a diesel mechanic program that Erickson said was already best in class, in his opinion.
“This truck has all the latest technology that we offer our customers,” he told Cowboy State Daily. “Essentially, all the systems that would be required for a truck to be self-driving are on this truck. There is forward-looking radar, forward-looking cameras, side cameras, radar systems, torque overlay steering so the truck holds its lane. And all of those systems talk to each other.”
