Regulatory News:

Europcar Mobility Group (Paris:EUCAR):

As Managing Director of Europcar Mobility Group USA, Gerardo Bermejo will build on Allen Rezapour’s and Mike Jaberi’s legacy, as well on the current momentum Europcar Mobility Group’s US perimeter is enjoying. He will be supported by the strong and engaged Fox management team, which has remained mostly unchanged since the company was taken over by Europcar Mobility Group in 2019.

Gerardo Bermejo joined Europcar Mobility Group - N°1 in vehicle rental in Europe - in 2017. Since then, he has worked as CFO for the Group in Spain and at the same time, held other positions within the Group, notably taking charge of the Group’s Low-Cost Business Unit. Gerardo Bermejo has over 20 years of experience in senior automotive and a sound understanding of the car rental industry, acquired in several leadership positions, notably at Citroën and at MIASA Group. He also has an international experience, including France, China and the United States.

With Gerardo Bermejo’s appointment, a new chapter opens for Europcar Mobility Group’s operations in the US, in line with the intention to strengthen the Group’s ability to serve its customers on a global scale, capitalizing on both inbound and outbound flows, which are equally important for the development of its corporate and leisure businesses, as well on capitalizing on the strengths of the Group brands’ portfolio, notably with the launch of the Europcar Brand in US corporate locations.

At the occasion of ICRS 2022 (International Car Rental Show), Gerardo Bermejo along with Gary Smith, Europcar Mobility Group Chief Countries Officer, delivered a keynote on Europcar Mobility Group’s renewed ambitions and expansion plan for its US perimeter, which involve both the Fox-rent-A-Car and Europcar brands.

Gary Smith, Chief Countries Officer of Europcar Mobility Group, declared:

“In light of all the challenges that have affected the travel industry since early 2020, we remain excited by our US perimeter, especially with their record 2021 results. Our US roadmap includes tactics to build on the success with a deeper alignment on our global “CONNECT” strategy to become a major player in flexible, sustainable, digital and connected mobility.”

Gerardo Bermejo, Europcar Mobility Group USA Managing Director, added:

“ I am thrilled to be joining such a successful perimeter for Europcar Mobility Group, and look forward to shepherding in an exciting era for the company with a special focus in the expansion of our corporate locations, implementation of our core Service Lines organization, and a customer-focused co-brand investment. ”
