Klein has a long history with Renault-Nissan and a solid engineering and product development background. So he's a good choice to fill Palmer's shoes. He was, in his old job, basically doing at Reanult what Palmer did for Nissan (sans the EV touting and TV time). Beatrice Foucher, head of EV development at Renault, was one of Klein's most important appointees and remains a constant face for Renault's EV program. I don't think Klein will fill Palmer's role of being "out there" all the time, but he is obviously totally on board with Ghosn's plug-in plans.
