The re-elected Second Vice President Ralph Zimmer is unfortunately missing. |
Among the news to come from the meeting was the election of a new IVM President following the resignation of BMW’s Heiner Faust, who has moved to the Munich manufacturer’s automotive division.
Replacing him is former Vice President Ralf Keller, of Yamaha Motor Germany, with Henning Putzke of BMW Motorrad as first Vice President and Ralph Zimmer, of Piaggio Deutschland, as second Vice President, and Ronald Kabella, of Bucher AG/Motorex, Switzerland, as a representative of the supply chain and aftermarket.
