Automotive Training Boards
Vehicle-Specific Demonstration & Fault-Diagnosis Rigs
A training board is not a learning kit. A learning kit teaches a technician the principles of automotive electrical and electronic components on a generic fixture. A training board teaches them to recognise, operate, and diagnose the actual system fitted to a specific vehicle model — the real relays, the real sensors, the real fault behaviour they will meet in the service bay.
Ameet Electro Systems (Nashik, Maharashtra) manufactures vehicle-specific automotive training boards for OEM dealer service networks and technical training institutes. Every board is built to a defined brief: the vehicle model, the system being taught, and the faults the technician must learn to isolate. We build it with the components that match the service manual — not visual approximations of them.
We have built training boards for the dealer networks of VE Commercial Vehicles (the Volvo–Eicher joint venture) and Mahindra, among others. If you have a vehicle model, a training objective, and a deployment scale, we will build the board to match.
What is an automotive training board?
An automotive training board is an operable demonstration rig that reproduces one vehicle system — or one vehicle's worth of sensors and circuits — using the genuine components fitted to that model, mounted on a single board a technician can probe, unplug, and deliberately fault.
A well-built training board differs from a catalogue trainer in four ways:
- Genuine components at their real part numbers — the same sensors, relays, and switches the service manual specifies, not similar-looking substitutes.
- The actual circuit topology — components wired in the arrangement used on the vehicle, so signal paths and interdependencies match reality.
- Live output indication — LED or instrument feedback that lets a learner see a circuit working or failing, without a running engine.
- Deliberate learning or fault modes — plug-and-play components, break-circuit points, or interactive fault-diagnosis logic that reproduces documented failure scenarios.
The result is a rig a new technician can train on until the hardware is familiar — before they ever open the bonnet of a customer's vehicle.
Training board vs. training kit — at a glance
AES manufactures both. The boards are covered on this page; the learning kits are in our training kits guide.
Our Training Board Range
We manufacture four confirmed training-board lines, spanning commercial-vehicle sensor training, connected-vehicle telematics, and interactive fault diagnosis. Each is built to a specific OEM brief and can be reproduced, revised, or scaled for network-wide deployment.
Vehicle Sensor 17-Demo Kit Board (Model V03)
This board was commissioned by VE Commercial Vehicles (Volvo–Eicher) for its dealer service network. It mounts all 17 sensors and relay components used on the commercial-vehicle platform in a single LED-backlit display board. Technicians identify each component, observe its operating behaviour, and practise removal and refitting — all without a live vehicle.
The board is Plug-N-Play: each component can be unplugged and refitted for hands-on practice. It runs from a standard 230VAC 3-pin supply and generates the 12V and 24V DC rails the components need internally.
All 17 components mounted on the board:
Power supply: 230VAC, 3-pin plug (board generates 12V / 24V DC internally)
Who uses it: Commercial-vehicle OEM dealer networks; technical institutes teaching heavy-vehicle sensor diagnosis.

Vehicle Sensor 10-Demo Kit Board
Commercial vehicle sensors · Condensed 10-station variant
The 10-Demo board is the condensed counterpart to the 17-sensor board above — the same interactive, hands-on approach to commercial-vehicle sensor training, built around a focused ten-component set. It suits induction modules, smaller training bays, or a lower-cost second unit deployed alongside the full 17-sensor board.
Standardising on one board family lets a dealer network specify the 10- or 17-station build per site, according to the depth of sensor training required at each location.
Who uses it: Entry-level sensor orientation; secondary training-bay units; institutes with a condensed syllabus.

Eicher LIVE Telematics Concept Rig
Connected vehicles · Telematics architecture · LED display · Three operating modes
The Eicher LIVE telematics concept rig teaches the full architecture of a connected commercial vehicle — from onboard sensors and ECUs through the CAN bus and telematics gateway to the cloud portals used by dealers, fleet operators, and call centres. It was developed for VE Commercial Vehicles' telematics dealer-training programme.
Three operating modes (selected on the board):
- Information mode — fuel management and uptime reporting
- GPS mode — live vehicle-tracking concept (GPS antenna simulation)
- Fault mode — fault-code generation and dealer-portal notification
Architecture shown on the board:
In plain terms, the rig traces data from the vehicle's sensors through its ECUs and CAN bus to a telematics gateway, then over the mobile network to a cloud server and on to the dealer, call-centre, and customer portals. On the board, that path is laid out as:
Sensors → Engine ECU (EECU) + Vehicle ECU (VECU) + Instrument Cluster → CAN bus → Telematics Gateway / TCU (with SIM card + GPS antenna) → GSM tower → Cloud Server → Dealer Portal / Call-Centre Portal / Customer Portal.
The portals demonstrate uptime management, proactive service, advance breakdown assistance, dynamic service reminders, fuel management, and trip management. LEDs run in slow or fast mode via a speed switch to represent live vehicle activity.
Power supply: 230VAC, 3-pin AC inlet
Who uses it: Commercial-vehicle dealer service teams learning connected-vehicle diagnostics; OEM telematics training coordinators; fleet-management programme instructors.

QB-A01-R1 Quiz Board — "Play & Learn" Hydraulic Fault Diagnosis
Interactive fault diagnosis · LED + voice feedback · Mains-powered
The QB-A01-R1 is an interactive fault-diagnosis board built for Mahindra's NOVO and YUVO tractor dealer network, deployed at Mahindra Exclusive Service Centres. It presents a hydraulic-system fault scenario and asks the technician to identify the most probable cause from a set of options — turning diagnostic training into a measurable, gamified exercise.
Feedback is immediate and multi-modal: a green LED and a "Congratulations" voice message confirm a correct answer; a red LED and a "Better luck next time" voice message flag an incorrect one. This format measurably raises engagement and retention over passive fault-tracing.
Power supply: 230VAC, 3-pin mains cord
Who uses it: Tractor and agricultural-equipment OEM dealer service centres; hydraulics diagnostic training modules.

Why vehicle-specific boards beat catalogue trainers
Catalogue training equipment serves general vocational instruction well. For an OEM dealer network, three gaps open up — and a vehicle-specific board closes each one.
Why does component recognition matter on a warranty job?
A generic relay board teaches relay theory, but the physical form factor, connector, and part number rarely match the OEM's vehicle. A technician trained on a generic component may hesitate over the real one during a warranty job — a cost the OEM absorbs. A board built with the actual component removes that hesitation before it becomes a claim.
Why must fault topology match the service manual?
Catalogue kits simulate faults on generic circuits. OEM diagnostic training needs the documented fault sequences from that model's service manual — the failures technicians actually encounter, in the combinations they occur. A vehicle-specific board reproduces those exact scenarios.
How does a real-part board build instructor credibility?
When the board carries the real part numbers, an instructor can teach directly against the service manual and diagnostic tree. That link between classroom and workshop is what accelerates a new technician to competence — and a generic kit breaks it.
For a deeper treatment, see our guide to [vehicle-specific training boards for OEM dealer networks](/blog/oem-dealer-automotive-training-boards).
How we build a custom training board
If none of our existing boards matches your training objective, we design to brief. The typical engagement:
Step 1 — Requirement brief
You share the vehicle model, the system to be trained (sensors, telematics, hydraulics, electrical), the learner profile, and any existing training content (syllabus, service-manual extracts, component lists).
Step 2 — Component mapping
Our engineering team maps the requirement to a board layout and prepares a bill of materials, referencing component part numbers against your service documentation.
Step 3 — Prototype
We fabricate a first unit and ship it for evaluation. You review against the training syllabus and provide revision notes.
Step 4 — Sign-off and Series Production
Once you sign off on the prototype, we produce the agreed quantity. Lead time from order confirmation: 4–8 weeks (depending on volume and component availability).
Step 5 — Ongoing Supply
We retain the BOM and fixture design for your product. Repeat orders, spares, and revised versions are fulfilled against the same reference.
Who we supply Training Boards
Our boards are deployed across three buyer segments:
OEM Dealer Service Networks
When an OEM rolls out training for dealer technicians, the equipment must reflect the actual vehicle. We build to spec — from single-site pilot units to network-wide series quantities. Our boards are in service across the dealer networks of **VE Commercial Vehicles** and **Mahindra**.
Automotive Technical Institutes (TVET / Polytechnics)
Institutes running NSDC-aligned or state-board automotive curricula need boards robust enough for daily student use and specific enough to teach real diagnostic skills.
Vocational Training Centres and Skill Development Centres
Government-affiliated and industry-sponsored programmes deploy our boards for hands-on diagnostic modules where a running vehicle is impractical.
Export Supply — Shipping Worldwide from Nashik
AES ships training boards internationally, with active supply relationships across Australia, South Africa, and West Africa.
Shipping: FOB Nhava Sheva (Jawaharlal Nehru Port, Navi Mumbai)
Lead time: 4–8 weeks from confirmed order
Power note: Our current training boards are configured for 230VAC input (suitable for India, Australia 240V, South Africa 230V, and West Africa 220–240V). For 100–120V markets (e.g. North America, Japan), we configure the internal supply or specify a step-up transformer at the briefing stage — tell us the destination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a training kit and a training board?
A training kit teaches the general principles of automotive components on a generic fixture. A training board reproduces one specific vehicle system — the real sensors, relays, and circuit topology of a named model — so a technician trains on the exact hardware they will service. AES manufactures both; boards are covered on this page, kits in our [training kits guide](/training-kits).
Can AES build a training board for a specific vehicle model we manufacture?
Yes — this is our core offering. Share the vehicle model, the system to train (sensors, telematics, hydraulics, electrical), and your learner profile. We map components to your service documentation and design a board accordingly.
What is the minimum order quantity?
There is no stated minimum. We have supplied single-unit prototypes for evaluation and series orders for network-wide rollouts. Contact us with your volume and we will advise on lead time and cost.
Do the boards come with manuals?
Yes. Each board ships with a manual covering component identification, operating instructions, and — where applicable — fault-simulation or quiz procedures. For OEM-commissioned boards, the manual is aligned with your existing training documentation.
How long does delivery take?
From a confirmed order, 4–8 weeks depending on component procurement and volume. Prototype evaluation adds 1–2 weeks before series production. We advise booking a prototype slot 10–12 weeks before your programme start date.
Can we buy spares after delivery?
Yes. We retain the BOM for every board we produce. Spare sensors, relays, LEDs, and other components are available from us or sourced against the same part numbers.
