Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo has been elected to lead Europe's automotive industry lobby group, the ACEA.
The ACEA (short for Association des Constructeurs Européens d'Automobiles) currently represents 16 major manufacturers in Europe, including the BMW Group, the Renault Group and the Volkswagen Group.
The Italian succeeds BMW CEO Oliver Zipse, who has led the organisation for the past two years.
Undoubtedly topping de Meo’s in-tray is addressing Euro 7, the final set of EU regulations for internal combustion engine emissions before sales of new pure-ICE cars are banned in the 2030s.
