Johnson Controls donates plug-in electric and all-electric vehicles to school automotive program

Johnson Controls, the world’s leading automotive battery supplier, is donating a plug-in electric and all-electric vehicle to the automotive program at Milwaukee Public Schools’ Pulaski High School, creating what is believed to be the first program in the nation to give students dedicated access to the most advanced vehicle technology out there today.

“We need to develop a talent pipeline with the skills required to work with increasingly complex vehicle technology,” said Mary Ann Wright, vice president of Technology and Innovation for Johnson Controls Power Solutions. “Our expectation is that these vehicles will inspire students to not only think about what it takes to repair automobiles, but inspire them to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).”
