Electric Vehicle OEM
Senior Director
"Goken has provided us Engineering Liaison support located in Japan at a Japanese automotive OEM we work with. Their global presence has allowed us to enhance our communication with the OEM to increase our design quality by capturing part feasibility issues ahead of design release and also decrease our need to travel overseas to provide support to our customer."
EG Industries
Director of Engineering
"Goken has supported us in Automotive Chassis development for a couple of Terrafugia's sub-systems in one of our upcoming vehicles. They developed the subsystems primarily from their Tech Center in Dublin, Ohio, and traveled to our facility in Massachusetts to coordinate prototype builds and assist in test setups as needed. Their automotive know-how allowed us to focus on the design of other vehicle systems and meeting FAA requirements, thereby increasing our efficiency to meet the aggressive vehicle development timeline."
Terrafugia
Engineering Manager - Chassis Systems
"Goken supported our North American development efforts by helping create engineering development tools which determined bolted joint torque settings and suspension tunable characteristics. Their flexible business models allowed us to make cost-effective, real-time decisions which in turn helped speed up our local development flow."
