Scheer, who has led the association since 2022 after joining Volkswagen Group Korea as group president in 2021, will serve a third consecutive term following his 15th and 16th terms.
During his tenure, KAIDA said Scheer focused on cooperation with the South Korean government and related organizations at home and abroad as the market shifts toward eco-friendly vehicles and future mobility. The association also said it expanded regular policy seminars, strengthened its English translation work on increasingly complex regulations tied to technological advances, and bolstered its role as an information provider by building an industry database.
KAIDA said that last year, marking the association’s 30th anniversary, new registrations of imported passenger cars reached 300,000 units.
Scheer said he will strengthen external cooperation and communication and, together with the newly appointed board, work to promote the development and innovation of South Korea’s auto industry and expand diversity.
