Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA)
The ACEA have pledged to make real differences for CV drivers

The three ACEA pledges:

  • Make the customer the best industry regulator by improving access to information.
  • Take full account of the complexity of the commercial vehicle market, not currently reflected in a one-size-fits-all approach.
  • Foster partnerships between all stakeholders in order to double the annual potential of CO2 reduction.

COMMERCIAL vehicle customers have been promised a better deal by the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA).

The pledge came with the election of Martin Lundstedt as chairman of the ACEA’s commercial vehicle board of directors.

It promises to improve the flow of essential information to customers to bolster their power over products and services.

Other initiatives planned include moves to dismantle the one-size-fits-all approach prevalent in the commercial vehicle sector plus greater efforts to halve annual CO2 emission reductions through better cooperation.

The ACEA elects a new chairman each year and Lundstedt, president and CEO of Scania, follows Wolfgang Bernhard, head of Daimler Trucks, who took over the chairmanship in 2013, and went on to serve a second term in 2014.

Speaking after his election, Lundstedt said: “I am honoured to drive ACEA’s commercial vehicle activities for the next year, when a top priority for our industry will be to continue to address one of our toughest challenges: the further reduction of CO2 emissions.”
