To align with the trend of developing new energy and the societal demand for green transformation, the VTC and China Inspection Company Limited (Hong Kong CIC) signed a memorandum of understanding on June 14, 2024. By leveraging the strengths of both parties in VPET and new energy technology, this collaboration aims to advance the training of new energy professionals, explore new energy vehicle technologies, and facilitate discussions on training programmes to support the industry’s development.

With the Environment and Ecology Bureau actively formulating the "Strategy of Hydrogen Development in Hong Kong," the widespread application of hydrogen energy in Hong Kong is imminent. Under the collaborative framework, VTC and Hong Kong CIC will jointly explore hydrogen energy related training programmes and its objectives, teaching plans, train-for trainer programmes and teaching resources. Both sides will also work together to explore new energy transportation inspection technologies, testing standards, related advanced technology research and development, applications, and testing services. They will support each other in establishing broader partnerships with more institutions/organizations, with Hong Kong CIC acting as a hub to assist VTC in extending training programmes to the China Certification & Inspection Group (CCIC) internally, thereby enhancing VTC's brand influence. 

VTC's Engineering discipline has long been dedicated to assisting young individuals in exploring the potential and possibilities of new energy. Currently, we have incorporated EV related professional knowledge and maintenance techniques into full-time training automobile programme and have introduced several EV maintenance in-services training courses, enabling students or industry practitioners to acquire the latest professional knowledge in new energy vehicles. As new energy transporation become more prevalent, there will be increasing opportunities for green employment in related fields. The collaboration between VTC and Hong Kong Inspection will prepare for the future development in the hydrogen energy transportation sector and drive the advancement of new energy industries in mainland China and Hong Kong.
