CARY, N.C. -

Cox Automotive Mobility is going worldwide.

Cox has launched a new global mobility division that will include operations in the U.S., UK, Continental Europe, Canada and Mexico, the company said Monday.

Additional global markets will be added in the future, it said.

The global Cox Automotive Mobility structure will focus on four key business solution areas: Fleet Services, Fleet Operations, EV Battery Solutions and Emerging Ventures.

“Last year was a landmark year for Cox Automotive Mobility,” Cox Automotive president Steve Rowley said in a news release.

“We’ve built the global tools and engine to power our clients’ growth across borders, enabling dealers, automakers and fleet customers to capitalize on business opportunities only Cox Automotive can provide within our fully-integrated Global Mobility architecture,” Rowley said. “As our partners race toward an ever-changing mobility future, we’ll be there to lead them.”

Joe George will continue to lead Cox Automotive Mobility as president, where he will head up both the overall strategy of the global division and lead U.S. operations.

Meanwhile, the company has appointed Paul Humphreys to be managing director of mobility for Cox Automotive International. He will focus on operations outside the U.S.

“The opportunities for organizations operating in fleet and consumer transport are limitless,” George said in the release.

“By combining the scale and expertise of one global vision, with bespoke market-led data and insights, we are enabling a safer, cleaner and more connected transportation ecosystem with operational efficiencies that can be realized for our partners worldwide.”

George joined the Auto Remarketing Podcast to explain what the new global structure of Cox Automotive Mobility will entail, as well as details on the four focus areas and how the international mobility market compares to the U.S.

“Our international operations have been a part of our business for a long time, and I think that our clients really have expressed an interest in some of the services we provide in our mobility group," George said in that interview.

“And so, we've made a few acquisitions internationally: Spiers New Technologies and FleetMaster. … We really knitted this together to follow our clients who operate across global markets and their desire to have one provider who can help them as they move (into) or are already in other countries.”
