Organisation

The EUCAR Council: the governing body of EUCAR is the Council consisting of the heads of research and advanced development of the member companies of EUCAR. The chairmanship of the Council rotates annually between the members. For 2023 the EUCAR Chair is Jean-François Salessy, Vice President, Advanced Technologies and Expertise, Renault Group.

Additionally, the EUCAR organisation consists of the following elements:

  • Management Committees: including the Coordination Committee, with the role to support the operation of EUCAR and the contacts with the member companies.
  • The Strategic Groups: for each EUCAR Strategic Group, a group of senior executives and experts guides and oversees the EUCAR work in that domain. Details here.
  • Expert Groups: the practical work on R&I issues is performed by the EUCAR Expert Groups which consist of experts from the members’ companies. It is in the EGs that the R&D needs are identified and formulated, and suitable R&D projects are initiated.  Each Expert Group reports to a Strategic Pillar Group.
