Elizabeth Krear Appointed President & CEO of the Center for Automotive Research (CAR)

Automotive innovation leader brings decades of engineering, product development, and EV strategy experience to lead CAR into the future
 
Ann Arbor, MI  – The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) is pleased to announce the appointment of Elizabeth Krear as its new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Krear assumes the role following interim leadership by David Leckey and brings a career-long focus on automotive innovation, electrification, and strategic planning.
 
Krear most recently served as Vice President of the Electric Vehicle Practice at J.D. Power, where she led client-facing initiatives focused on leveraging data and insights to guide the transition to an electrified mobility ecosystem. Prior to that, she held leadership roles at Stellantis, including Global Planning Program Vice President for Jeep Grand Wagoneer and electrified SUVs/trucks, and Chief Engineer for the Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, and Ram 1500 platforms.
 
“Elizabeth brings an unmatched blend of technical depth, strategic foresight, and leadership across both legacy and emerging mobility sectors,” said Dr. Andrew Brown, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors. “She is the right leader to guide CAR through its next chapter—deepening our industry impact and expanding our thought leadership during this era of transformation.”
 
Over her more than 25-year automotive career, Krear has worked at the forefront of electrification, autonomous systems, product quality, and product development. She was named one of the Top 100 Women in the North American Auto Industry by Automotive News in 2020, a testament to her influence and leadership across the sector.
 
Krear holds Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Wayne State University and an MBA from the Michigan State University Executive MBA Program.
 
Positioning CAR for Strategic Growth and Industry Impact
As the automotive industry continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, Krear’s appointment reinforces CAR’s mission to serve as an independent, nonprofit research hub that informs policy, accelerates innovation, and fosters collaboration across the automotive and mobility ecosystem.
