LONDON – Thierry Bollore, the former CEO of Jaguar Land Rover and Renault Group, has joined the board of EV supplier Bedeo as a strategic adviser.
Bedeo, based in London and Farnham, England, makes electric powertrains for vans, including new models for Stellantis, as well as for retrofitting existing diesel and gasoline models. It also makes a kit to convert classic Land Rover Defenders to EVs.
The company is launching the retrofitting business in France to take advantage of government subsidies for the service. Both Stellantis and Renault Group have announced plans to convert internal-combustion vans to EVs.
