June/July 2001: Hubertus von Zastrow has left DaimlerChrysler Services Fleet Management, where he headed up its international division based in Germany.

Herr Dr Ulrich Sachenbacher will take over the responsibility of managing director for Europe, with support from Stefan Mecha, currently head of strategy, communication and training for DaimlerChrysler Financial Services in France. He takes up the post of general manager in August.

Von Zastrow was responsible at the international level for determining new opportunities for the company and for developing its business model in conjunction with national managing directors.
