Idem Telematics makes executive appointment

BPW subsidiary Idem Telematics has appointed Jens Zeller to the role of Managing Director, effective 1 January 2017.

According to BPW, Zeller joins the company from Schmitz Cargobull, where he has headed the Central European sales unit since 2012, and previously worked for many years in a variety of units within the commercial vehicle division of Daimler.

The integration of loading, transport and delivery procedures continues to offer a lot of potential for forward-looking solutions capable of raising the efficiency of both individual carriers and the entire process chain.

“Through idem telematics we have a leading role to play in this ‘Internet of Transport’, and we are delighted that Jens Zeller is now adding further strength to our leadership team. He will be contributing his many years of international sales and management experience in the commercial vehicle market, as well as valuable telematics expertise.”
