- fox e-mobility AG (ISIN DE000A2NB551), a European electric vehicle company that specializes in the production, marketing and development of compact electric cars in the lower price segment for individual passenger transport and logistics applications, is strengthening itself with a newly created advisory board. With this committee, the group-independent European e-car company brings further proven expertise in the automotive sector in general as well as in automotive sales and turnaround situations to the company.

The advisory boards will support the company in a targeted manner, especially in the areas of value-adding areas such as raising investors and capital, partnerships with suppliers and sales partners. The Advisory Board reports to the CEO of fox e-mobility AG, Philippe Perret.
