John Hurtig will take on the role of CEO for Hedin Nordic Truck, leading the company’s operations in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.

"Both John Hurtig and Raine Wermelin have demonstrated strong business results during their years within Hedin Mobility Group. We are operating in a challenging time for the industry, where strong leadership is crucial to driving growth and strengthening our customer offering.

I look forward to following their journey and the value they will bring to Hedin Nordic Truck and Hedin Motor Company."
