What is the name of the villain in Pixar’s Cars 2 who promotes Allinol?

Miles Axlerod is the villain in Pixar’s Cars 2 who promotes Allinol.

Axlerod presents himself as the organizer of the World Grand Prix and a supporter of alternative fuel. He claims that Allinol is a safe, environmentally friendly fuel that will prove its value during the international races. The public campaign makes him appear to be a wealthy and influential industrialist helping modernize the automotive world.

The film later reveals that Axlerod is secretly behind the plot involving Allinol, the races, and the attacks on competing cars. His plan uses the fuel’s effects to create chaos and discredit alternative energy. This revelation turns the apparently promotional racing event into the central mystery of the movie.

Axlerod is voiced by Eddie Izzard in the English version. He is often confused with Professor Zündapp, another antagonist involved in the scheme, but Axlerod is the figure publicly associated with the World Grand Prix and Allinol.
