RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA, USA – April 30, 2025 – ElDorado National California Inc. (“ENC”), a U.S. based transit bus manufacturer and subsidiary of Rivaz Inc., today announced the promotion of Carlos Cornejo as Senior Regional Sales Manager for the Western United States.
Cornejo, who rejoined ENC in November 2024, is responsible for leading strategic sales efforts, market expansion initiatives, and customer partnerships throughout the Western region. His role will also involve working closely with ENC’s direct to client engagement strategy throughout the country as well.
With nearly 15 years of experience in transportation, Cornejo brings a unique blend of operational and sales expertise to ENC.

His career includes leadership positions at Valley Power Systems and Engineered Machined Products, as well as experience in sustainable transportation solutions during his time at ChargePoint.
“It’s a true privilege to be back at ENC during such an exciting time for the company and the transit industry,” said Cornejo. “Having started my career turning wrenches on military vehicles, I deeply understand the importance of reliable, mission-ready equipment. ENC’s commitment to quality, innovation, and American manufacturing aligns with everything I value. I’m honored to help deliver solutions that transit agencies can trust to perform day in and day out.”
Cornejo’s breadth of experience across fleet maintenance, powertrain systems, and zero-emission mobility gives him a comprehensive perspective on customer needs and operational realities. He is a bilingual Spanish speaker and an advocate for customer-first, forward-thinking transportation solutions.
