Venturi's North American Operation to be Neighbor of CAR
Posted:
The Ohio State College of Engineering has reported that Venturi Automobiles's new company, Venturi North America, will be headquartered at The Ohio State University. In its new venture, Venturi plans to design, engineer and produce electric vehicles for specialty markets. The College's announcement was made the same day that Ohio Governor John Kasich and Ohio State President Gordon Gee attended the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Venturi, a partner on projects such as the Buckeye Bullet landspeed racing team, chose Columbus as its North American base of operation to be in closer proximity to The Ohio State University Center for Automotive Research (CAR). Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Professor Giorgio Rizzoni will host Venturi President Gildo Pastor on Friday, Jan. 14 from 9-10 a.m. at CAR, 930 Kinnear Road, to discuss Venturi's plans for its North American operation. “The Center for Automotive Research is enthusiastic about working with Venturi’s design and engineering staff to development new electric vehicles,” said Rizzoni, who is also Director of CAR.
