Wouter Witvoet, CEO EV Technology Group “As EV Technology Group builds a house of brands with such iconic marques, it’s essential that we establish the right pillars, the right templates and harness world class strategies at an early stage. I am delighted that a renowned industry leader such as CALLUM will direct us and assist us as we prepare for future growth. We are already seeing great results, and this could lead to participating in many future projects.”
Mark Stubbs, Head of Design Electric Vehicle Technology Group “Striking and sophisticated design will be one of the key attributes of EV Technology Group’s vehicles going forwards, which is why is such a pleasure to be working with Ian Callum and his talented team at CALLUM. They are already offering us some hugely creative design solutions for future lightweight electric vehicles, based on EV Technology Groups’ technologies, and giving us excellent insights as we begin to create our house of brands and an array of game-changing future EVs.”
Ian Callum CBE Design Director, CALLUM “At CALLUM our mission is to create design stories that stir the imagination. The sheer scale of the ambition of EV Technology Group and its mission to reinvent iconic brands is brimming with potential to do just that. There’s nothing a creative team likes more than limitless possibilities. We will progress each design language so that these brands remain captivating and relevant for an electrified world.”
David Fairbairn, Director, CALLUM “EV Technology Group wanted a design partner that didn’t just present a deck of pretty renders. Creative ideas also need engineering substance to streamline the early stages of development and get them to commercialisation faster. We expect CALLUM’s combined team of designers and engineers to integrate seamlessly with the talent at EV Technology Group, grasping their challenges but also exploiting the opportunities these brands offer.”
