In the workshop — among vehicle lifts, tires, batteries, and glowing service lights — the technicians of tomorrow face their greatest challenges. This is where MEKO strengthens its role as an educator and guide through an industry undergoing rapid change. With the launch of MEKO Academy, the Group brings all of its training initiatives together under one shared name, creating a center where knowledge, technology, and professional pride come together.
“MEKO Academy is an important conceptual step forward for us and a resource for anyone looking to develop their skills, right in the middle of an exciting transformation. The number of electric vehicles on the road is growing rapidly, new players are producing their own vehicles, and digital solutions are changing how workshops operate. This places higher demands on the automotive aftermarket, which needs technicians who can master both mechanics and advanced software, regardless of powertrain,” says Anders Oxelström, Director of Communications and HR at MEKO.
Previously, much of MEKO’s training was delivered under the Promeister Academy name. By uniting all programs under MEKO Academy, the Group takes the next step in equipping the next generation of automotive technicians with the knowledge and tools they need to meet challenges with confidence and skill. This strengthens the individual, the workshop, and the entire industry—while also addressing society’s need for employable, highly skilled technicians who can drive the automotive sector forward.
Whether you’re on the workshop floor, already working in the profession, or dreaming of becoming an automotive technician and running your own shop, MEKO Academy makes it easier to access courses, technical support, and new training programs. Bringing all education under one shared name highlights the breadth and depth of MEKO’s expertise in training.
“Our programs—from upper secondary education to advanced courses in high-voltage components and electric vehicle technology—make us a leading force in automotive education. MEKO Academy provides the expert knowledge, tools, and platform you need to succeed,” says Anders Oxelström.
MEKO’s commitment to education runs deep. In the past, courses and programs were offered under different names and across different markets, reflecting broad experience but sometimes creating fragmentation.
Over the years, the Group has steadily expanded its offerings. Today, MEKO provides everything from upper secondary programs and vocational college courses in the Nordic region to specialized advanced training in electric vehicles, high-voltage components, and remote diagnostics—both across the Nordics and in multiple markets around the Baltic Sea.
With MEKO Academy, all of this expertise comes together under one name. It is a center of knowledge where the automotive technicians of the future are shaped, where workshops strengthen their capabilities, and where MEKO—together with society—creates sustainable growth and innovation. Every technician is given the opportunity to develop their professional skills and be fully prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.
The EU commission intends to removes the ban on new petrol and diesel cars from 2035, and this affects millions of people who drive, repair and maintain vehicles. However, it does not change the long term journey toward more sustainable mobility.
As 2025 draws to a close, Norway can look back on a historic turning point. During the year, electric vehicles have continued to dominate new car registrations, and in early December, electric cars also became the most common drivetrain in the entire Norwegian passenger car fleet.
When Jessica Tjulander joined MEKO, she knew the role of Wholesale Director would come with challenges — but she had no idea just how much influence she would have. She has played a key role in driving both change and collaboration across the company, working on everything from strategic initiatives in tires and EV spare parts to the development of automated central warehouses. Her work goes far beyond purchasing and logistics; it’s about building networks, sharing expertise, and helping shape MEKO’s future.
