BENJAMIN TROMAS
Land Mobility Expert
Benjamin TROMAS had the honor of serving more than 20 years in the French Army Special Forces.
He worked for 16 years as an operator during which he carried out numerous missions. He was also an off-road driving instructor in a motorized squadron (light and heavy vehicles, motorbike, ATV). These years have allowed him to build strong expertise in the use of land vehicles in operational conditions.
He then took the role of Land Mobility Manager within his unit. During these 4 years, he contributed to multiple vehicles developments with different manufacturers. He thus worked on thermal and electric vehicles with 2 or 4 wheels.
His taste for technologies, and for Defense topics, led him in 2023 to join the ETENDARD teams.
