Citroen exec says autonomous driving and electrification will create design revolution

Pierre Leclercq became Citroen's design head last November, succeeding Alexandre Malval, who now works for Daimler. The Belgian-born Leclercq, 46, started his career at Ford's Ghia studio in Italy, then spent more than a dozen years at BMW Group. In 2013 he was named design director at Great Wall Motors in China, then moved to Kia Motors as design director in 2017. Leclercq spoke with Automotive News Europe correspondent Peter Sigal at the VivaTech technology show in Paris about his vision for Citroen.
