Wolfgang Göbel, chief sales officer, Horst Mosolf, has been elected president of the Association of European Vehicle Logistics (ECG) in an election held during the annual general assembly.  He brings more than 36 years of relevant industry experience to his new role and has served as ECG vice-president for the last seven years.

Mats Eriksson, CEO, AB SkandiaTransport, another long-term board member, who previously served as Treasurer, assumes the role of vice-president.

A record attendance of some 130 delegates elected the new board and also celebrated the outgoing president, Costantino Baldissara, who steered the association through some of the most turbulent times the industry has ever seen during his remarkable seven-year presidency.

Board members serve a one-year term at ECG and several members stood again and were duly re-elected, including Maximilian Altmann; Costantino Baldissara, Michael Bünning; Krzysztof Dakowicz; Marcos Duato; Mats Eriksson; Wolfgang Göbel; Ömer Gürsoy; Christian Lang; and Ray MacDowall. Four new candidates were elected, Marc Adriansens (ICO); Olivier Benguigui (STVA); René Eisbrich (Lagermax) and Jon Kuiper (Koopman Logistics Group), bringing the total board up to 14 members.
