By Jim Gibbins - 1st March 2020
Sweden / Belgium - The Commercial Vehicle Board of Directors of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) has elected Henrik Henriksson, CEO of Scania, as its Chairman for 2020. Henriksson takes over the chairmanship from Gerrit Marx, President Commercial and Specialty Vehicles at CNH Industrial.
Henriksson said: “We look forward to working closely together with the European institutions to help ensure that the Green Deal objectives are met. I strongly believe that, with increasing efforts from all stakeholders, carbon-neutral road transport by 2050 is within reach. This will require serious investments in charging and re-fuelling infrastructure suitable for trucks and buses, as well as a legislative framework that promotes all zero- and low-emission vehicles. And we have to start here and now in order to succeed.”
