Vitesco Technologies Romania will continue to power clean mobility in 2022

Despite the difficult market environment based on Covid pandemic and the semiconductor shortage, 2021 was successful for Vitesco Technologies.

“This year showed that our strategy is right. Our electrification share is already considerable, and it is growing in all areas.  The transformation of our engineering force into a new and agile organization, along with the switch from production facilities focused on combustion products to electrification solutions were the main achievements. This in line with our mission of powering clean mobility,” Cristian Mihaly, Country Head, Vitesco Technologies Romania, told Automotive Today.

“For the Romanian organization onboarding of over 300 new colleagues in times of Corona is also a major achievement for this year.”

STRATEGY & VISION |  RETHINK STRATEGY  & PRIORITIES

“As head of Vitesco Technologies Romania my biggest challenge this year was to build and mentor the local management team to support all the pre – Listing Day activities. 

We will focus on complying with the market speed in terms of providing the technologies and products according to our customer expectation and to consolidate the Romanian organization to support our global focused areas: leader in electrified solutions and driver of sustainability.”

PEOPLE & COMMUNITY | FOCUS ON SAFETY, SOCIAL APPROACH, LEVERAGE THE POWER OF COMMUNITY

“This year I can say that our colleagues have been most involved in the social project, running independent initiatives, where the company was providing the collaboration platform.

In all 4 locations we have continued our commitment to the technical universities, with different support actions for students. In Brasov we are a major player for Scoala Profesionala Duala (dual education school) and we believe that education is the driver of the future.”

KEEN ON GREEN  |  SUSTAINABLE, GREENER,  COMMUNITY & ENVIRONMENTALLY-FOCUS

“Our entire mission is based on products that make mobility green and sustainable.

But one project marked this year and our Listing Day. Every employee had the opportunity to mark this special day by adopting a tree. The platform gave us several options of countries and trees to be adopted and the farmers will get support to continue their work in this way.”

DIGITAL DNA  | GRASPING TECH, DIGITAL INNOVATION, CUSTOMER -DRIVEN, BUILDING NEW BRIDGES

“The major difference this year was that blended in the global Vitesco Technologies ecosystem (global network, working from wherever the employee wanted based on a functional internet access) we could offer smooth and continuous productivity in the times of pandemic.

The mobile workdays concept implemented years ago was helping us to switch to hybrid work concept for all employees.”

Trends for 2022?

“Transformation to electrification, translated in high pressure for suppliers, including fast reaction from development teams and support organization to deliver expected results.

Growing competencies and skills in our teams to cope with the complexity of our times (pandemic, business challenges, personal life).”
