Gathered this Monday, June 20 in General Assembly, the shareholders of the young manufacturer validated the appointment of the former Minister of Transport.
Following this general meeting, the board of directors met the same day to adopt a new governance structure. Jean-Baptiste Djebbari thus becomes Chairman of the Board of Directors while Olivier Lombard, founder of the brand, is appointed Managing Director.
“It is a source of pride to support this renewal project for the French and European automotive industry. A project synonymous with technological innovation and profound transformation, around the energy potential of hydrogen, to make the automotive sector more respectful of the planet“, reacted the former minister in a post published on Linkedin, giving us an appointment next October at the Mondial de Paris to discover the final version of the Hopium Machina.
