Europe’s Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) Commercial Vehicle board has elected Scania CEO, Henrik Henriksson as chairman for 2020.

Henriksson takes over the chairmanship from Gerrit Marx, president Commercial and Specialty Vehicles at CNH Industrial.

Enabling a smooth transition to carbon-neutral transport is one of ACEA’s top priorities for the years ahead, as well as ensuring road freight transport can continue to contribute to Europe’s economy.

“We look forward to working closely together with the European institutions to help ensure the Green Deal objectives are met,” said Henriksson.

“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.”

The ACEA Commercial Vehicle Board of Directors elects its chairman for a yearly term.
