Michael Ingvardsen

A series of free online webinars about automotive air-conditioning system diagnosis, variable displacement compressors and the future of refrigerants will be delivered in early June by Michael Ingvardsen, who is president of VASA’s continental counterpart MACSPartners Europe and technical training manager at Nissens Automotive.

The webinars is part of a broader initiative organised by Worldpac Training Institute (WTI) to help the automotive repair community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
