Phạm Duy Tùng: Kamtech's Anchor in Vietnam

Phạm Duy Tùng, a graduate of HCMC University of Technology and Engineering, was perhaps the most influential figure in convincing the patent holder to keep the project rooted in Vietnam. Despite his youth, Tùng brought years of hands‑on experience with automotive and motorcycle engines—skills honed from his family’s vehicles and a lifelong passion for mechanics.

In 2013, a patent was filed for an improvement in the rod‑guide system. To test this and other innovations, Tùng helped design, build, and evaluate a one‑off prototype. The results of those trials became foundational to the current design.

His contributions went far beyond formal education. Many of his ideas were born from hard‑won, practical experience—insights that helped the team avoid costly mistakes during development. Tireless and committed, Tùng’s role was indispensable. Without his dedication, there would be no Kamtech OBE 1.
