Supervisory Board Formed for Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH

  • Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn becomes Chairman of the Board
  • Corporate headquarters of the holding is Braunschweig

Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH, the holding bringing together Volkswagen AG’s truck and bus business, has formed a Supervisory Board composed on a parity basis. Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, will chair the Supervisory Board. The registered office of Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH is Braunschweig.

The shareholder representatives joining Prof. Dr. Winterkorn on the newly-composed Supervisory Board are Hans Dieter Pötsch, member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG with responsibility for ‘Finance and Controlling’, Dr. Francisco Javier Garcia Sanz, member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG with responsibility for ‘Procurement’, Dr. Leif Östling, Daniela Behrens, State Secretary at the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economics, Employment and Transportation, and Dr. Ferdinand Oliver Porsche.

The employee representatives on the Supervisory Board are Bernd Osterloh, Chairman of the Group Works Council of Volkswagen AG, Gunnar Kilian, Secretary-General of the Volkswagen Group Works Council, Athanasios Stimoniaris, Chairman of the Group Works Council of MAN SE, Günter Pröbster, Chairman of the Works Council at the MAN Nuremberg plant, Johan Järvklo, Representative of the Swedish Metal Workers’ Union at Scania, and Lisa Lorentzon, Representative of the Federation of Salaried Employees in Industry and Services at Scania.

“The composition of the Supervisory Board represents the next big step in strengthening our important commercial vehicles business area. The Supervisory Board and management will work together to bring our business in medium and heavy duty trucks with its strong brands of Scania, MAN Truck & Bus and MAN Latin America closer together and to develop it further successfully”, Winterkorn underscored.

A decision has also been taken on the location of the holding: the registered office of Volkswagen Truck & Bus GmbH is Braunschweig.

Andreas Renschler, member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG with responsibility for ‘Commercial Vehicles’, highlighted the fact that “we have reached a further milestone for our commercial vehicles holding with the composition of the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen Truck & Bus and the decision on the corporate headquarters. Together with the Supervisory Board we decided on Braunschweig because the airport there guarantees us direct access to our brands. That was the decisive factor for all involved.” Renschler continued: “In a next step the management and the Supervisory Board will draw up the overall strategy for our truck brands. Our stated goal is to develop the alliance between MAN, Scania and MAN Latin America to become a global champion.”

Bernd Osterloh said: “The Supervisory Board of the truck and bus holding is a strong body that can focus fully on the needs of the medium and heavy duty commercial vehicle business. The colleagues at MAN and Scania are integrated on an equal footing and can therefore meaningfully represent the interests of employees at their plants. By bringing together our commercial vehicle activities under the roof of Volkswagen Truck & Bus we are taking account of the significance of our strong truck brands within the Volkswagen Group.” Commenting on the decision to locate the holding’s headquarters in Braunschweig, the Chairman of the Volkswagen Group Works Council added: “Deciding on a neutral location for the commercial vehicles headquarters is a good idea. It is to function as a link between the strong and independent brands.”

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Novitec, Unsatisfied with Aventador SV, Adds More Veloce

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is no slouch, but if you’re into Lamborghinis, chances are you’re into big numbers. Whether it’s in the bank or under the hood, a big number could, and perhaps should, always be bigger, which is where Novitec steps in. Novitec has been modifying Italian cars for years, and their Torado line is dedicated to making ridiculous Lamborghinis even more ridiculous. Their latest effort takes the Aventador SV and remaps the engine to give it 786hp and 544 lb-ft of toque. They’ve also fitted the car with a new exhaust system that cuts 50 lbs off the car. Other mods include a carbon fiber aero package, spoiler, front splitter and air intake, all of which helps it shed even more weight. The Aventador also sits on 21 (back) and 20 (front) inch Vossen wheels. So if you think that a regular Aventador is just a little too pedestrian, give Novitec a call and they’ll hook you up.
