Innovative Australian vehicle manufacturer wins award

PRESS RELEASE

Vehicle manufacturer Tomcar Australia recently won an AusIndustry Innovation Award, at the same time as Toyota and Holden prepare to close their Australian production facilities.

Tomcar Australia, which makes a range of off-road vehicles and soon the nation’s first production electric car, has been recognised for its foresight, resilience and innovative achievements.

Sponsored by the Australian Department of Industry, Innovation and Science, the award is the first for Victorian-based Tomcar Australia.

On receiving the AusIndustry Business Award, Tomcar Australia Co-Founder & CEO David Brim said: “This award is a great recognition of our commitment to innovative Australian technological know-how and our unique sustainable manufacturing techniques.

“I want to pay tribute to all the Tomcar Australia team and our suppliers for their dedication, hard work and belief in what we are trying to do – bring life back to the Australian automotive industry.

“We have come a long way since we began this journey in 2005 and I must say our future is looking even more exciting as we work towards the introduction of Australia’s only full-scale production vehicle.”
