We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Ivan Hodáč, who served as Secretary General of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) from 2001 to 2013.

Ivan was undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in the European decision-making process, and the Financial Times recognized him as one of the most influential personalities in Brussels. 
He was a wonderful and kind person, a great friend of PZPM . During his tenure, our organization was admitted to ACEA , marking an important milestone in our history. 
We extend our sincere condolences to his family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.
