"Today, our industry is undergoing the most transformative shift in its history: the transition from conventional combustion engines to zero-emission powertrains, such as battery-electric and hydrogen-powered models. This is a monumental challenge—one that requires the complete reimagination of an entire ecosystem", commented Levin.

Scania and TRATON CEO Christian Levin is the new Chairman of Commercial Vehicles Board for 2025 within ACEA. Indeed, the international automotive manufacturers’ association has recently renewed its main positions, with the election of Ola Källenius, Chairman of the Board of Management of the Mercedes-Benz Group, as the new ACEA President.

Mr Levin takes over the function from Harald Seidel, President of DAF Trucks. Levin was elected by members of ACEA’s Commercial Vehicle Board, which brings together the CEOs of DAF Trucks, Daimler Truck, Ford Trucks, Iveco Group, MAN Truck & Bus, Scania, and Volvo Group.

ACEA, the very first comment from Christian Levin

“Trucks and buses are not just vehicles; they are the lifeblood of a prosperous, connected, and sustainable society”, Levin said. “However, our industry operates in a highly regulated environment, all while facing intense competition on the global stage. Today, our industry is undergoing the most transformative shift in its history: the transition from conventional combustion engines to zero-emission powertrains, such as battery-electric and hydrogen-powered models. This is a monumental challenge—one that requires the complete reimagination of an entire ecosystem”.

“For this transition to succeed, policies and regulations must be forward-thinking, pragmatic, and relevant. Bold, visionary targets are essential to lead the way, but they must be paired with enabling conditions and predictable, long-term incentives to create stability and drive investment”, Levin added.
