EDs\u2019 designers, engineers, digital modelers, and physical modelers collaborated directly with Willkie\u2019s CNH Innovation and Design Center team.<\/p>\n

This important cooperation was all carried out in the brand new ED R&D Center in Rivoli. The entire modeling and prototype department, including all the offices and shops, is fitted with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling, white marble, offering a futuristic \u201cwhite-on-white\u201d environment for the Iveco team to work in, along side the ED team. The whole project was developed and constructed in record time, from June to September.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cWe are particularly proud of this project – said David Pizzorno, President and founder of ED – and we are very pleased to team up with a world leader in the commercial vehicle industry. This was a great opportunity to highlight our ability to seamlessly integrate our experts with our clients, working closely as a team, offering them a spectacular environment, which they consider a \u2018home-away-from-home\u2019. In addition, the development and construction of a vehicle of this size, has enabled us to successfully test our brand new facilities in the new ED Design Center in Rivoli (Turin), a next generation, high-tech center designed to develop innovative projects here in Piedmont, similar to those in Silicon Valley\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>
