Nissan GB has announced the appointment of Marco Capozzoli as fleet director.

Capozzoli has worked as Nissan’s national dealer fleet manager for nearly six years, and is said to have a broad range of leasing, finance, and vehicle rental experience, having also previously held roles at VW Group Leasing, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, and Hertz

He replaces Csaba Vincze, who has taken on the role of director of network development and customer quality.

Capozzoli said: “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.

“With our ten-year heritage in electric vehicles, we have valuable experience to help businesses that are looking to cut their carbon footprint and transition to a zero-emission fleet. I look forward to this exciting challenge and continuing to help our customers embrace the electrified era.”

Nissan GB sales director Michael Auliar said: “Fleet will be a key factor in our future success, so I’m delighted to see Marco taking on this exciting new opportunity.
