CONGRATULATIONS to Marco Capozzoli on his appointment as Fleet Director at Nissan.
Marco succeeds Csaba Vincze who has recently taken on the role of director of network development and customer quality.
With six years of experience at Nissan – and a wide range of experience across leasing, finance and rental – Marco certainly has the right background for the fleet sector.
I’d like to continue the mid-term fleet strategy with special focus on the dealer network and maximise our performance through sales channel optimisation. With a newly launched range of fantastic, electrified vehicles, including the fully electric Ariya and Townstar compact van, these are exciting times for Nissan GB.
He added that with a 10 year heritage in electric vehicles, Nissan was in a unique position to assist company fleets wanting to transition to electric vehicles.
Capozzoli has worked as Nissan’s National Dealer Fleet Manager for nearly six years, with responsibility for managing national SME business sales performance and recently establishing a national van sales strategy. Prior to this, he worked in a number of roles at VW Group Leasing, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services and Hertz.
Fleet will be a key factor in our future success, so I’m delighted to see Marco taking on this exciting new opportunity. He will continue to evolve our role as a trusted adviser to the UK’s vehicle fleets, both large and small, and ensure business can access advice that will facilitate their transition to a lower carbon future.
Capozzoli takes up his new role as Nissan accelerates plans for a fully electrified line-up, with Juke Hybrid and e-POWER versions of Qashqai and X-Trail all launching in the last 18 months.
These exciting new models join Nissan’s established fully electric models – LEAF and Ariya – and the Townstar EV, arriving this year.
With a class-leading range of 183 miles (WLTP combined), the all-new Townstar EV is designed to help commercial vehicle customers future-proof their business operations and help them adapt to changing emission regulations, increased urbanisation and the growth of e-commerce.
It builds on the success of the e-NV200, Nissan’s previous all-electric compact van and a former UK best-seller, and features a payload capacity of up to 800kg plus cargo space that’s large enough even on short wheelbase versions to carry two Euro pallets.
