For new customers, Ricardo said, the synergies available from the collaboration will be particularly attractive, while existing customers will enjoy the efficiency savings that it will bring, by sourcing the whole vehicle engineering program a single partner.

Ricardo is a world leader in the provision of engineering expertise to this sector, in particular in the areas of motorcycle and scooter power train technology, design and development and production implementation, and vehicle based integration, development, emission control and refinement. By combining this with EXNOVO’s creative flair as one of the world’s most admired vehicle, aesthetic and industrial design houses, I believe that we can provide a truly unparalleled and comprehensive high quality motorcycle and scooter capability, from component engineering to full, turn-key whole vehicle concept to production programmes.
