Following the announcement that GWM is to embark on a local tuning and engineering program, prominent ride and handling expert, Rob Trubiani will join the company as Product Engineering Manager.
He joins GWM with nearly 25 years of Australian automotive engineering experience.
For many years, Trubiani was a lead development engineer specialising in areas including brake, chassis, vehicle dynamics and technical integration.
As Holden’s lead engineer for vehicle dynamics for nearly 15 years, Trubiani has developed an understanding of road conditions across the ANZ region and of the vehicle characteristics preferred by customers across the region. As a result, he has achieved the status of being one of Australia’s most respected vehicle dynamics engineers.
More recently, Trubiani has held the position of Senior Mechanical Engineer at global automotive engineering consultants Segula Technologies.
GWM has been actively listening to local customer feedback for several years now with much of this feedback already making its way into the final tuning of new models making their way to the Australian and New Zealand markets.
In hiring Trubiani, GWM’s objective is to strengthen local engineering efforts to further improving vehicle dynamics and, ultimately, customer experience across the region.
“We are delighted to have secured Rob as our new Product Engineering Manager. With a wealth of local ride and handling experience, we’re confident that he can help deliver an even better in-vehicle experience for our customers,” GWM head of marketing and communications Steve Maciver says.
“With GWM now an established Top 10 brand in Australia, this is a commitment to all our local customers that delivering the best possible products for local tastes is a core part of our plans moving forward,” he says
Trubiani starts employment with GWM Australia and New Zealand in early April.
