Industrial sustainable power solutions developer Volvo Penta has opened a new training centre in Nuremberg where technicians can receive hands-on training on real engines and systems.

Volvo Penta says the site is strategically positioned and will act as a training and resource hub for Central European markets.

“It is designed to educate and deliver immersive, hands-on training with real Volvo Penta engines and systems, ensuring participants gain practical expertise they can immediately apply in the field,” the company states.

“The facility has dedicated spaces for both theoretical and practical courses and will host a wide range of programs, from core service skills to advanced engineering and diagnostics and emerging technologies.”

Dealer training events are also on the schedule.

The centre is led by technical trainer Michael Schubert, who joined Volvo Penta in 2024 and brings more than 15 years’ experience in the industry.

“I’m excited to welcome our partners and technicians to the new facility,” says Schubert. “With this centre, we are bringing training to life and getting enthusiastic people to work with real Volvo Penta engines and systems, share best practices.

“This centre is about more than technical training. It’s about building the confidence, skills, and strong connections across our service community. It’s providing a dedicated space where professionals can learn.”
