- Election of the board: Andreas Barchetti succeeds long-time chairman Peter List
- Congratulations: Opel CEO Michael Lohscheller wishes for full dealer involvement
The European Association of Opel and Vauxhall Dealers (EURODA = European Opel / Vauxhall Dealer Association) has elected a new board. Andreas Barchetti now heads the association. The Italian replaces the long-time President Peter List from Austria.
"I congratulate Andreas Barchetti on his new position”, says Opel boss Michael Lohscheller. “He will represent the European dealers professionally and with full conviction. Especially in these difficult times, it is vital that retailers take full advantage of all the options on the market. In addition, I would like to thank his predecessor, Peter List, for the many years of good cooperation.”
The German Roman Still (AVAG Group) becomes the Vice Chairman of EURODA. He is supported by Briton Mike Hutchin, Vincent Girerd from France and Theo Janssens from the Netherlands.
EURODA represents the interests of around 1,600 Opel and Vauxhall dealers across Europe. The association was founded in 1990. The five-member presidium works closely with the Opel / Vauxhall European Retail Board (ERB).
Opel is one of the largest European car manufacturers and was founded by Adam Opel in Rüsselsheim, Germany, in 1862. The company started building automobiles in 1899. Opel has been part of the Groupe PSA since August 2017. Together with its British sister brand Vauxhall, the company is represented in more than 60 countries around the globe selling around one million vehicles in 2019. Opel is currently implementing its electrification strategy to secure sustainable success and ensure that the future mobility demands of customers are met. By 2024, all Opel models will offer an electric variant. This strategy is part of the company plan PACE! with which Opel will become sustainably profitable, global and electric.
