Thierry Bollore Joins Bedeo: In a strategic move, Thierry Bollore, the former CEO of Renault and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), has recently become a strategic advisor on the advisory board of Bedeo, the British electric vehicle supplier. This decision comes at a crucial juncture for Bedeo, known for manufacturing electric powertrains for vans and enjoying a partnership with the global automaker Stellantis.
Bollore, with a rich history of leadership roles in the automotive industry, brings a wealth of experience to Bedeo’s advisory board. Having served as the CEO of Renault following the high-profile arrest of former CEO Carlos Ghosn in 2018, Bollore then took the helm at Jaguar Land Rover for two years until his departure in late 2022 for personal reasons.
The British electric vehicle supplier, Bedeo, recently made waves in the industry by launching a service to convert diesel vans to electric hybrids. This innovative move aligns with the global push toward sustainable transportation solutions. The initial rollout of this service is set to take place in France, strategically timed to leverage government subsidies aimed at encouraging the retrofitting of fossil-fuel models.
