PMTPK05-PLUG Training Stand Supports Hybrid Education in Hungary

AutoEDU’s hybrid vehicle training stand PMTPK05-PLUG was recently introduced at a vocational school in Hungary. The training tool features a cutaway version of a Toyota Prius III, allowing students to explore how hybrid systems work in a safe and practical way.

PMTPK05-PLUG Training Stand Supports Hybrid Education in Hungary AutoEDU

The PMTPK05-PLUG is a fully functional educational trainer based on the Toyota Prius III Plug-in Hybrid. It is mounted on a mobile chassis and includes all key systems found in a real plug-in hybrid vehicle. This includes the internal combustion engine, electric motor-generators (MG1 and MG2), high-voltage battery, inverter, DC/DC converter, plug-in charging port, full body and chassis components, and safety systems such as ABS, ESC, and airbags.

With visible access to the main components—such as the high-voltage battery, internal combustion engine, and electric motor—students are able to learn through hands-on experience. The stand helps explain the structure and function of hybrid vehicles without the risk of triggering fault codes, even while the system is active.

Designed with safety and visibility in mind, the trainer features safetyglass covers over high-voltage areas, open body sections for easier observation, and diagnostic ports for live data analysis. Students can perform real diagnostic tasks, study energy flow, practice maintenance procedures, and learn to work with CAN bus systems and hybrid-specific components.

This hands-on experience helps prepare future technicians to work confidently with hybrid and electric vehicles, using real OEM parts and industry-standard tools. The training stand also supports instructors with safe operation, mobile setup, and the ability to demonstrate key system behaviors in a classroom environment.

The school plans to continue expanding its training capabilities by building a modern lab environment with advanced diagnostic tools. This will help students gain up-to-date knowledge and skills needed in today’s fast-changing automotive industry.

AutoEDU is proud to support technical education by providing real OEM-based training equipment that helps teachers and students succeed in their daily learning.
