Luke Heesterman this year’s Isuzu Trucks I1-GP national technical skills
On September 10, CablePrice’s Wellington branch entered 4 technicians in this year’s Isuzu Trucks I1-GP national technical skills competition taking out 4 of the 5 top spots including Luke Heesterman coming first place!
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, this year’s competition was held in a new format. All competition tasks had to be completed remotely at dealerships and the contestants were supervised by their Service Managers. This year saw 11 contestants from two dealerships. CablePrice Wellington had 4 participants while CAL Isuzu Hamilton had 7 participants.
The competition consisted of two parts – Theory Exam and Practical Scenarios. During the Theory Exam each contestant had to answer 25 general mechanical knowledge questions in no longer than 75 minutes. Exam questions were borrowed from past years worldwide I1-GP Tournaments. This gave the Contestants a taste of language used by Japan and the level of knowledge expected to be seen by Isuzu Motors Limited.
For the practical part, contestants had to troubleshoot two real breakdown situations seen in New Zealand earlier this year. For the first scenario, it was necessary to troubleshoot a DPD (Diesel Particulate Diffuser) fault, and for the second they had to identify a faulty component in an electrical system. Contestants had not only to identify the malfunctioning component, but also explain the mechanism of the failure and describe how the faulty part affects the operation of other systems in the truck. Luke scored top points from the practical section, while Paul Everson from CAL Isuzu Hamilton, was the best in the theory exam.
