"Having received over 250 dealership applications from all across the country since opening up our dealership program, there's no doubt that the Volcon product line is reaching and appealing to everyone in the outdoor powersports industry, especially with existing OEM dealers.

"Russ and Julio come to Volcon with some incredible manufacturing experience; we're confident with their leadership our future product roadmap will come to life on time and will exceed the consumer and dealer expectations."

Russ, spending his career in powersports, e-mobility, and product planning will be responsible for the voice of the customer within the 4-Wheel Division of Volcon ePowersports. Leading the global product planning and lifecycle management of the future product and technology roadmap will be a key role in the commercialization process. With a strong background in vehicle development and launches, he will be an impactful addition to the team bringing additional product planning, operations, and engineering leadership. Russ's background in electro-mechanical drivetrain systems and powersports vehicle design is complemented by Greenfield Operations experience and global program management leadership within the powersports and light-vehicle sector. He holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Vehicle Engineering from Purdue University and a Master's Degree in Business Innovation from CEDIM, in Monterrey, México.

Vitti is an international product planning leader with over 28 years of experience with global automotive brands and will be responsible for ushering in the future of the 2-Wheel Division of Volcon ePowersports product planning, lifecycle management, and technology development. Vitti's reputation as a strategic thinker and ability to scale across complex market needs perfectly sets Volcon up to expand well into the complex motorcycle powersports business in the US and beyond its shores. Having worked for brands such as Nissan - most recently managing the product planning for the renowned Z - as well as Harley Davidson, Toyota, and General Motors, Vitti brings not only deep OEM experience, but understands global markets from his time in Japan, Brazil and Germany.
