The Heavy Duty Manufacturers Association (HDMA), the commercial vehicle division of the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA), has announced that Martin Lundstedt, president and CEO of the Volvo Group, will deliver the keynote address at the Heavy Duty Manufacturer’s Association (HDMA) Luncheon & Briefing, traditionally known as Breakfast & Briefing, taking place 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 29, during the North American Commercial Vehicle Show (NACV) in Atlanta.
 
Lundstedt has 27 years of experience in engineering, development, production and sales in the heavy-duty automotive industry. He joined the Volvo Group in October 2015 as president and CEO. Under his leadership, the Volvo Group has grown to a $45 billion company and has made significant advancements in the areas of electromobility, autonomy and connectivity. 
 
Prior to joining the Volvo Group, Lundstedt had a 23-year career at major Swedish commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania, becoming president and CEO in 2012.  From 2015 – 2016, Lundstedt was co-chairman of the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Advisory Group on Sustainable Transport. Additionally, he has served as a board member on several boards, including chairman of Partex Marking Systems AB and Permobil AB, board member of ACEA Commercial Vehicle and Concentric AB, member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA), and advisory member of the Swedish National Innovation Council.
 
Due to his enthusiasm, deep industry knowledge and extensive teamwork, Lundstedt was appointed “Leader of the Year 2018” by Affärsvärlden (Swedish “business world”) magazine.
 
Lundstedt holds an MSc in Industrial Management and Technology from the Chalmers University of Technology.
 
This program, traditionally known as Breakfast & Briefing, was first held in 1990 in Louisville, KY.  With a sold-out registration the past 17 years, Luncheon & Briefing is a “must attend” event for suppliers, OE companies, customers, and media.  Registration for this year’s Luncheon & Briefing will open in mid-April.
