Mr Tobin takes over from Mario Gasparri, the former president of CNH’s construction equipment businesses, who will remain with the company and take over responsibilities for all of CNH Industrial’s operations in South Africa. Mr Gasparri had been head of the CNH construction equipment business since April 2012.
