Europcar Mobility Group (Paris:EUCAR):
Europcar Mobility Group, European N°1 of vehicle rental,
announces the appointment of Wolfgang Neumann as Managing Director
of Europcar Mobility Group Germany, covering all the activities and
brands of the Group in this country.
Wolfgang Neumann is taking over from Stefan Vorndran, who has
decided to leave the Group, after 3 years at the head of the German
perimeter of the Group.
Wolfgang Neumann is an experienced leader, with more than 20
years spent in various industries (audit, consulting,
telecommunications and rental industry) in senior management
positions, mainly in international environments, where he had the
opportunity to manage turnarounds and transformations.
He spent 10 years working for Avis Europe plc, where he held
Finance and Managing Director positions in their German business,
as well as the Group Sales and Marketing Director position. More
recently, he supported the transformation of companies in the
logistics business and the data science business.
As the new Europcar Mobility Group Germany Managing Director,
Wolfgang Neumann’s roadmap will be to accelerate the Group’s
“Connect” plan’s deployment in Germany, responding to the new
customer needs and expectations that have been reinforced by the
Covid-19 crisis and are now part of the “new normal”. He will also
leverage the power of all brands in Germany (including the Europcar
and the Buchbinder brands) in domestic and outbound businesses.
In the coming months, Wolfgang Neumann and his teams will focus
on profitable growth, relying on the Group’s assets and service
offerings, notably a brand new range of subscription offers,
allowing fully flexible vehicle rentals for B2B customers, and a
recognized vans and trucks offer. All this while maintaining
flexible rental conditions in the leisure travel segment to
accommodate the current changing environment and providing all
customers with safety, peace of mind and a hassle-free
experience.
Commenting on his appointment, Wolfgang Neumann said: “Germany
has always been a key country for the Europcar Mobility Group and
it is tremendously exciting to take the lead of this perimeter, in
order to open a new chapter of its transformation and business
development. A lot has been accomplished by the teams over the last
months, including the first chapter of the transformation of the
business, marked by the integration of the Buchbinder business
acquired in May 2017. In a still challenging and complex
environment, we will now leverage the Europcar Mobility Group’s new
strategic framework, the rich portfolio of brands that we have,
with distinctive value propositions, as well as the new service
offerings of the Group, in order to fully benefit from the market
restart and grow profitably in the years to come. The Group has the
ambition to become a major player of flexible, sustainable, digital
and connected mobility and I strongly believe it should start with
Germany!”
