Carlos Rodrigues, Managing Director, Renault Trucks UK and Ireland

Appointed in October 2018, one of Carlos' key focuses is to drive the brand’s electromobility journey, with a full Electric Range of Renault Trucks vehicles available from 3.1T to 26T now a reality. For Carlos, making the decarbonisation of the road industry sustainable is the only way to achieve the required reductions in GHG emissions. With his background in finance, Carlos knows that the equation will not be easy to solve, but believes that today we already have the component parts to answer some of the challenges, and are now on the journey to fossil-free, sustainable transport.
