Vinsen cancels trip to work on crisis

David Vinsen, chief executive officer of VIA (Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association) has decided to cancel his long-planned motor cycling holiday in Australia to return to New Zealand to assist in resolving the industry crisis surrounding the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) infestations in pure car carriers arriving from Japan. 

In a phone call to Autofile last night Vinsen explained that the issue was sufficiently serious that he would be cancelling his planned trip and return home.  “I believe the industry needs to call on all of our resources to work through this issue as quickly as possible, VIA will provide the leadership necessary to coordinate all efforts required to resolve this matter as quickly as possible,” says Vinsen.
