Michael van der Sande, former managing director of Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations division, has taken a new role as MD of Lucid Europe.
He joins as the luxury electric car maker, headed up by former Tesla engineer Peter Rawlinson, begins its push into European markets. It's already operating in Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland.
The American manufacturer currently produces the Air, a Mercedes-Benz EQS rival with the longest WLTP range of any EV, at 548 miles per charge in Range trim.
Autocar previously reported that the saloon is understood to be arriving in the UK later this year, pending development of a right-hand-drive model.
