Rüsselsheim. Yesterday evening Ulrich Schumacher, Vice President HR and Labor Director, accepted two international awards on behalf of the #opel Group GmbH. At the 16th AUTOBEST Gala in Lisbon, Portugal, there were two first prize awards for the pioneering #amperae electric car and the strong leadership of the #opel Group.
The jury of expert journalists from 31 European countries awarded the #amperae the ECOBEST 2016 prize. With its range of more than 500 kilometers (electric range, measured in the New European Driving Cycle in km: > 500 km, provisional figure), the #amperae was described by the jury as the “right answer to the challenges of future electric mobility”. The #opel philosophy, “Sculptural Artistry meets German precision”, showed that it applies to the company itself as well as its products. The #opel Group therefore emerged from the field of competitors to win the COMPANYBEST 2016 award.
“COMPANYBEST is possible through the efforts of a highly capable #opel team. We have started to reinvent ourselves. Our 37,000 employees in Europe are making the difference. And with our battery electric #amperae, #opel is revolutionizing electro-mobility in Europe. The jury recognized that with its range of more than 500 kilometers it significantly outperforms its segment rivals currently on the road and makes electric mobility fully feasible for every day”, said Schumacher on stage in Lisbon.
