Bedeo, an electric vehicle supplier and manufacturer stated that former Renault and Jaguar Land Rover CEO Thierry Bollore has joined the British electric vehicle supplier’s advisory board as a strategic advisor.
In September, Bedeo launched a service to convert thousands of diesel vans to electric hybrids, Reuters reported.
The business is launching in France, to avail of government subsidies for retrofitting fossil fuel models, the newswire reported.
After serving as CEO of Renault after the arrest of former CEO Carlos Ghosn in 2018, Bollore spent two years as CEO of Tata Motors unit JLR before stepping down in late 2022 citing personal reasons.
In a statement, Bollore said he was “looking forward to sharing my knowledge with (Bedeo) in support of pursuing the company’s mission” to electrify transportation.
