Mr. Millé’s expertise in supply-based management has been pivotal to his success. However, he attributes his good fortune primarily to his passion for his profession, particularly for his role in reducing emissions and improving fuel efficiency. Throughout his career, he experienced launching innovative technologies, such as hydrogen fuel systems for heavy-duty vehicles. His commitment to advancing sustainable practices in the automotive industry for a cleaner future was widely recognized.
Hoping to work for another 20 years, Mr. Millé intends to make a significant impact while continually contributing to sustainable practices in the automotive industry through innovative engineering solutions.
