FleetPride, described as the US's 'largest independent distributor of aftermarket heavy-duty truck and trailer parts', has announced the appointment of former Ford President and CEO Mark Fields to its Board of Directors.

Fields retired as President and CEO of Ford in May 2017, concluding a 28-year career with the American auto giant. He was replaced by Jim Hackett.

"We are very excited to have Mark join FleetPride's Board. He brings a wealth of operating and marketing expertise to our company during a dynamic period of growth," said FleetPride CEO Al Dragone.

Fields recently completed a term as Chair of the US-China Business Council, and he currently serves on the IBM Board of Directors. Fields holds a degree in economics from Rutgers University and an MBA from the Harvard Graduate School of Business.

Formed in 1999, FleetPride operates over 262 locations in 45 US states and carries over 400 nationally-recognised brands. In addition, FleetPride offers in-house remanufactured products such as brake shoes and driveline components. Truck and trailer repair services are also offered at a number of locations under the FleetCare brand.
