I absolutely LOVE the team culture that has been within CMR for over 50 years. Many have arrived at CMR with a KIWI CAN DO attitude & passion to learn & improve their skills.

CMR is proud of our Culture KIWI CAN DO / Only your Best is good enough / Never say Die attitude.

So PROUD of the latest 4 to really rise to an enormous complex Challenge. They are Bruce James / Mark Ballantyne ( CG ) / Pete Crone / Trev Saran.

The Challenge

Make the Wairua 2 Unique Weismann 12 Speed Gearbox so that when it changes gear we can data log approx. 40 + Inputs 2 B able to see all the complex shifting moments. Then set up sequencing so that it is fail safe & will now not shift unless the previous sequence has been seen by the computer.

The Video is proof !!!!!!

The above 4 gifted determined individuals have learnt from scratch & improved their skills to the point. 2 Years ago, they would have been give no chance of achieving this task But. They in house with passion & desire to learn have with determination outside brainstorming / upskilled 2 B able 2 design new electrical system / Made the wiring loom / programmed Computer / Etc.

Well done U Fab 4. U Rock. Long Live the CMR KIWI CAN DO Passion
