I join the Chassis engineering department in 2001 to take over the role of manager of the team in charge of Cab Suspension and tilting, together with the dedicated project cross-functional team. In 2004, my scope is extended with the Engine Suspension.<\/p>\n
My role consists in managing the budget and workload to deliver the projects, ensuring the consistency of the development plan with the involvement of purchasing, vehicle testing and project management functions.<\/p>\n
Indeed, I supervise the conception and specification phases, the verification plan both internally and at suppliers, and the overall validation plan up to the commercial launch and first customer feedback.<\/p>\n
I also introduce the multibody dynamics simulations, applied to the cab suspension and tilting system, as a new tool fully integrated in the development process.<\/p>\n
From 2002 to 2006, the full range of Renault Trucks is launched with new solutiosn for engine and cab suspension, providing a better ride experience of the driver and an enhanced durability.<\/p>\n
Following the acquisition of the Renault VI\/Mack group by Volvo group, the period is also the beginning of collaborative and multicultural exchanges with Swedish colleagues.<\/p>\n
