Students get new gear as college benefits from engine donation

Vehicle maintenance students at Northampton College will be able to hone their skills on state-of-the-art equipment thanks to a donation of £12,000 worth of engines from MAHLE Powertrains.

Two engines were handed over to the college by MAHLE, based in St James Mill Road, Northampton to help train their apprentices, giving students the chance to work on up-to-date machinery and get to know the parts and mechanics used in modern vehicles.

Chris Allen, from the college's Vehicle Maintenance and Repair department, said: We are delighted with the new engines and extremely grateful to MAHLE for their generous donation. This will make a big difference for our students as it gives them the opportunity to work on modern engines.
