Iveco has appointed Glen Dyer to lead its operations in Australia and New Zealand, effective immediately.
Dyer began at Iveco Australia in early 2021 as head of sales and product. Before joining Iveco, he held executive positions in the commercial sales and financial services divisions of Mercedes-Benz, working both in Australia and the United Kingdom.
During his time with Iveco, Dyer has helped Iveco ANZ navigate the challenges of COVID and realign internal sales and support structures.
As a member of the senior management team, Dyer also played a role in guiding the brand’s Australia and NZ operations towards a full importation model. This has led to heightened industry uptake of the Iveco product line-up, including the Daily range and the more recently launched heavy-duty S-Way, the company says.
Dyer takes over the role from Michael May, who has been promoted and has relocated to Italy to oversee the development of Iveco ‘GATE’ — the company’s dedicated sustainable commercial transport division.
‘GATE’ (Green and Advanced Transport Ecosystem) is an all-inclusive pay-per-use formula for long-term rental of ‘green’ commercial vehicles designed to support customers in their transition to zero-emission mobility.
In commenting on his appointment, Dyer says he is excited at the prospect of steering Iveco ANZ into the future, especially given the rapidly changing face of the road transport industry and the opportunities this presents.
“Iveco has gone through a profound transformation over the last few years aiming at becoming the trusted partner of its customers throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle and beyond, and the benefits of the company’s new direction are now beginning to be seen by Iveco vehicle owners,” he says.
“We’re looking to grow this momentum further by leveraging our expertise in alternative fuels and propulsion systems, and autonomous vehicle technologies, while making sure we continue to get the fundamentals such as service, parts and other aftersales functions right for customers.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Iveco and will work hard to build on Michael May’s strong foundations, ensuring that we deliver on every level for our customers,” Dyer says.
