VW Executive Jan Bures Awarded Supply Chain Executive of the Year

Herndon, VA, April 15, 2016 – Jan Bures, Executive Vice President, Group Aftersales and Services, Volkswagen Group of America (VWGoA), has been recognized as “Supply Chain Executive of the Year” at the fourth annual Automotive Leaders Summit held in Las Vegas on April 7. The award recognizes Bures’ commitment to network optimization to efficiently achieve VWGoA’s goals in the North American market.

“Jan Bures embodies the importance of process efficiency and optimization of the networks,” said Peter Wooding, CEO of Three6Zero, and host of the Automotive Leaders Summit. “The contributions of Mr. Bures and of those at our annual celebration continue to benefit the automotive industry as a whole.”

As the Executive Vice President for Group After Sales & Services for Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., Bures is responsible for steering the group after sales strategy, delivery of VWGOA parts turnover and profit, parts logistics, wholesale parts operations, contact centers and roadside assistance.

Prior to his current role which he assumed in 2013, Bures spent over 20 years with the Volkswagen Group holding positions of increasing responsibility across the globe.

“Enhancing our network and cultivating strong relationships with our partners in the supply chain represents a core area of Volkswagen Group of America’s business strategy,” said Bures. “I am very grateful to the jury for honoring me on behalf of VWGoA and our brands VW and Audi with this award and share it with my dedicated team.”

The Automotive Leaders Summit, an annual conference hosted by international media company Three6Zero, raises awareness and gives recognition to the companies and individuals that are the backbone of the automotive supply chain sector. The conference features keynote speakers, panel debates, forums and other discussions related to the global supply chain and automotive industry. The conference’s Automotive Global Awards ceremony honors individuals and companies in 25 categories, including supply chain, logistics quality, purchasing and other operations. Industry experts judge best performance in each category.

In 2015, Volkswagen Group of America was named the Automotive Leaders Summit’s “Most Supportive OEM,” an award honoring a vehicle manufacturer exemplary at fostering relationships across sectors to move the industry forward.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor.

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
