Engineering

From the second half of the 1990s, the strategy of acting as full service provider has been pursued by constantly upgrading engineering activities. 2002 marked the setting up of the Cambiano Engineering Center, with the aim of integrating styling and production activities and of offering the customer a full range of services. Pininfarina Deutschland and mpx Entwiklung in Germany and Pininfarina Maroc in Morocco complete the engineering offer. The engineering sector proposes product and process engineering services, prototypes and experimantation, aerodynamic and aeroacustic analysis and research .
