Electric Bus Panel Trainer
Prepare students to investigate the electrical, control, and charging systems used in modern electric buses. The Electric Bus Panel Trainer (745-01) provides hands-on experience with high- and low-voltage systems, CAN Bus communication, regenerative braking, fluid power, DC fast charging, battery management, and electric bus diagnostics.
The Electric Bus Panel Trainer (745-01) from LJ Create provides students with a practical simulation of an electric bus electrical system for demonstration, investigation, and fault finding. The trainer simulates mechanical operation and provides a visual representation of electrical power flow, helping students understand how multiple systems work together in an electric heavy vehicle.
Students can investigate electrical circuits using safe-voltage test points while working with realistic electric bus controls, CAN Bus communication, charging, regenerative braking, and other vehicle systems. With 20 manually or automatically inserted faults, students can progress from system operation and measurement to increasingly complex diagnostic and troubleshooting activities.

Teach Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
LJ Create’s EV & Hybrid AutoLab training solutions provide a comprehensive pathway for teaching electric and hybrid vehicle technology through hands-on trainers, interactive curriculum, and real-world diagnostics. Each trainer in the Hybrid & EV program line can be implemented as an independent training resource to supplement your class or as part of the full LJ Create EV Innovative Lab.
Using LJ Create’s EV and Hybrid learning resources, you can cover everything from electrical fundamentals and high-voltage safety to batteries, motors, charging systems, CAN bus, and complete vehicle systems.
Introducing the LJ Create Electric Vehicle Lab
LJ Create’s EV & Hybrid AutoLab is a complete, scalable training solution that helps schools build modern automotive programs around electric and hybrid vehicle technology. With hands-on trainers, guided curriculum, and multiple levels of instruction, students develop the practical skills needed to safely diagnose, maintain, and understand today’s electrified vehicles.
EV and Hybrid Learning for Every Level
From electrical fundamentals to complete vehicle systems, these automotive training solutions prepare students with the practical skills needed for careers in today’s electrified transportation industry.
EV Electrical and Electronics Fundamentals
Start with the basics by practicing skills students will need as they explore EV concepts. These areas include: circuit protection; conductors, insulators, and earth return; voltage, current, resistance, and power calculations; DC and AC signals; and more!
Complete Vehicle Systems
Teach the operation of complete EV and Hybrid Vehicle systems using desktop panel trainers. Students can “operate” each type of vehicle, measure what is going on during the various modes of operation, and troubleshoot common problems.
Common EV Sub-Systems
Dive deeper into specific EV sub-systems like motors and drives, batteries, and charging systems to teach students who already have the fundamentals down critical EV sub-systems.
