The VW Group has replaced its CEO Matthias Muller. The new man is Herbert Diess. Diess is an engineer who came to the VW Group having been development boss at BMW, and responsible for the i3 and i8 as well as the conventional cars. So it"s likely that VW"s new focus on electrifying its lineup will be safe with him. Also, remember, BMW is the only German company that has come through the whole diesel emissions business without any of its engines showing up with questionable real-world results. And before his time as R&D chief there, Diess had been the purchasing boss, responsible for cost control, vital to profit. He had been lining himself up to be CEO of BMW, but instead the job went to a rival. So Diess took up his bat and ball and got a job at the VW Group in summer 2015.
