Singapore is committed to reducing its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030. To achieve this goal, the automotive industry will shift towards electric vehicles. This transition requires workers in the automotive industry to acquire new competencies and skills related to electric vehicle maintenance and servicing. Upskilling and reskilling are crucial for workers to be job-ready when the momentum picks up. 

We spoke with James Ng, the Managing Director for Singapore and Philippines at electric automaker BYD, and Roger Chan, the Director of Engineering. During our conversation, we discussed the challenges that come with adopting electric vehicles, such as the need for charging infrastructure, and the training opportunities available for automotive workers as Singapore transitions to cleaner energy sources.
