Ricardo plc has made
Paul Rivera executive vice president for Ricardo Inc., with direct
responsibility for leading the company’s Santa Clara Technical Centre in
California’s Silicon Valley.
Rivera will lead the strategy to further develop
Ricardo California into a world-class technology centre focused on emissions
after-treatment and catalysis for conventional combustion engines, and hybrid
powertrain, electronic module, fuel cell systems, and connected and autonomous
vehicle design, development, integration and testing.
In addition, the expanded technical facility
will increasingly focus on environmental consulting through collaboration with
Ricardo AEA and Ricardo Strategic Consulting.
With its new focus of activity, the Santa
Clara Technical Centre aims to provide an ideal location from which it can
provide its strong capabilities in sustainable transport, climate change, and
air quality.
Similarly with Silicon Valley’s reputation
as a hotbed for automotive technology development and emerging mobility
business models based on electronics and software innovations, the focus of
engineering, technical and strategic consulting activities at Santa Clara will
also enable Ricardo to provide a better and more responsive service to both
existing and new clients, from traditional automotive players to new entrants
and financial investors.
Since joining Ricardo in 2011, Rivera most
recently held the position of managing director of Ricardo Europe’s hybrid and
electric systems business and global product director for the technologies as
well.
