As of June 1, 2025, Christoph Walter will take over the position of Director of New Trucks Sales. Since April 1, Maximilian von Löbbecke has been responsible for managing the German subsidiary. With the new appointments, the management is fully set up to shape the company's strategic direction in a dynamic market environment.
Experience in Commercial Vehicle Service and Hydrogen Technology
Christoph Walter brings experience in sales, strategy, and transformation. The economist served in senior positions at ADAC for almost 20 years, including as managing director of ADAC Truckservice and ADAC Südbayern e.V.
Most recently, he was Chief Sales Officer at the hydrogen technology company Keyou, where he co-managed sales expansion. In parallel, he advised companies in the mobility and logistics sectors on fleet optimization and digitization through his own management consultancy.
