About Jamaican German Auto School (JAGAS Auto Clinic)
The Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) and the HEART Trust/NTA will spend a combined total of $284 million to establish a world-class heavy-duty vehicle repair and training facility at the bus company’s Lyndhurst Road depot.
Under the partnership, auto-mechanics will be trained by the HEART Trust/NTA’s Jamaican-German Automotive School (JAGAS), to rehabilitate defunct buses owned by the JUTC.
Chairman of the JUTC, Dr. Garnett Roper, said the partnership is expected to save the state-owned bus company millions of dollars.
Dr. Roper was speaking on September 4 at the launch of the training programme, which will see the first cohort of 25 auto-mechanics commencing training this month at JAGAS.
He informed that the programme was conceptualised as a cheaper alternative to the proposal of sending the buses to Brazil for rehabilitation.
Under the initiative, the HEART Trust/NTA will spend $80 million to upgrade the Lyndhurst Road depot for the establishment of the heavy-duty vehicle repair, refurbishment, and advanced training facility.
For its part, the JUTC will expend almost $204 million to furnish the project site with the required sophisticated heavy duty equipment and tools, sourced from Europe.
