VW is drawing further personnel consequences from the emissions scandal. Audi Chief Development Officer Ulrich Hackenberg and his Porsche colleague Wolfgang Hatz have to vacate their posts.
The crisis at the car manufacturer VW now also has personnel consequences for the subsidiaries Porsche and Audi. The Porsche board member responsible for research, Wolfgang Hatz, has to go, as the German press agency learned on Thursday from corporate circles. Audi Board Member for Development Ulrich Hackenberg also has to vacate his post. “Bild” and “Spiegel Online” had already reported on it beforehand.
Porsche and Audi do not comment
From 2001 to 2009, the Porsche manager Hatz worked as an engine developer in the VW Group - initially at Audi, later at Volkswagen itself. Since February 2011, he has been a member of the board of the VW subsidiary Porsche. A Porsche spokesman said there was no comment on personnel speculation. Even an Audi spokesman did not want to comment on this Hackenberg personality.
The Supervisory Board of Porsche AG met in Wolfsburg on Thursday, and the controllers of the Porsche holding company Porsche SE were to meet later. A meeting of the supervisors of the parent company VW is planned for Friday. Volkswagen boss Martin Winterkorn resigned on Wednesday because of the affair over manipulated emissions levels in the USA. (AG / dpa)
