Meet the new ACEA president Carlos Ghosn

Renault’s Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn has been named the new president of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA).

ACEA represents manufacturers of cars, vans, trucks and buses with production sites in Europe, and helps to define the common interests, policies and positions of the industry in one of the most regulated sectors in Europe.

Among the priority fields are sustainability, research and innovation, safety, transport policy and international trade.

Mr. Ghosn, who is also chairman and CEO of Nissan and head of the Renault-Nissan Alliance, takes over the ACEA presidency from Philippe Varin, former chairman of the Board of Management of PSA Peugeot Citroen.

ACEA Secretary General Erik Jonnaert said: “Mr. Ghosn will lead ACEA through an important period of political transition in Europe. Under his presidency, ACEA will continue to focus on its key policy recommendations, which are to drive innovation, to foster growth through international trade and to call for a supportive regulatory framework.”
