Audi CEO Mr Stadler named as suspect in German emissions probe
Auto News - Published on Wed, 13 Jun 2018

Reuters reported that German prosecutors widened an emissions cheating probe into Volkswagen's luxury carmaker Audi to include the brand's Chief Executive Mr Rupert Stadler among the suspects accused of fraud and false advertising. Almost three years after Volkswagen admitted to falsifying U.S. diesel emissions tests, the Munich public prosecutor's office said it was now probing 20 suspects, and had on Monday searched the apartment of Stadler and one other board member.

The Munich prosecutor's office said that "Since May 30, 2018 the chairman of the board of Audi AG Prof. Rupert Stadler as well as a further member of the management board are now named suspects."

However, the probe could trigger a leadership crisis at Audi and its parent Volkswagen where Stadler was in April elevated to the post of head of group sales.

WOLFSBURG (AFN/BLOOMBERG) - Volkswagen is in Duitsland akkoord gegaan met een megaboete ter waarde van 1 miljard euro. Het gaat om een schikking met openbare aanklagers in verband met het sjoemelsoftwareschandaal. Volkswagen erkent schuld en accepteert de straf daarvoor, stelt de autobouwer in een verklaring.

Volkswagen raakte in het najaar van 2015 in opspraak toen bleek dat het concern jarenlang vals had gespeeld bij toelatingstests voor dieselmotoren. Die waren voorzien van verboden software waardoor ze in het laboratorium veel schoner uit de bus kwamen dan ze bij normaal gebruik op de openbare weg waren. De affaire heeft al geleid tot de nodige boetes en schikkingen, waarmee bij elkaar vele miljarden gemoeid zijn.

VW's Skoda says might outsource production to meet demand

Reuters quoted Volkswagen's Czech brand Skoda as saying that it might outsource some production to a contract manufacturer as the division looks to respond to booming demand. Already grappling with stretched capacity at its Czech plants, demand for its new sport-utility vehicles could lead production at Skoda to surge to 2 million cars by about 2025 from 1.2 million currently, the automaker said.

VW's labour boss Mr Bernd Osterloh told Reuters that shifting some production to Germany by 2019 will not solve bottlenecks at Skoda, which has passed Audi to become the second-most profitable unit at VW group after sports-car brand Porsche.

Skoda said in an emailed response to a question from Reuters, "There is a wide range of options to cover order peaks," adding that taking advantage of unused capacity within the multi-brand VW group will not do the trick.

Skoda said that "For that reason we keep looking into alternatives that also include possible contract manufacturing. Demand is exceeding our production capacities also in 2018."

Major carmakers including Germany's big three BMW, Daimler and VW routinely use contract manufacturers such as Magna or Finland's Valmet Automotive to outsource production, earning them greater flexibility while saving investments in their own facilities and resources.

CEO Audi gearresteerd vanwege dieselgate

(ABM FN-Dow Jones) De CEO van Audi, onderdeel van Volkswagen, is maandag gearresteerd in verband met een onderzoek naar zijn rol in het schandaal over het manipuleren van emissietesten door de Duite autofabrikant. Dit meldde The Wall Street Journal maandag.

De arrestatie van Rupert Stadler in verband met het dieselschandaal, volgt een week nadat de openbare aanklagers in München Stadler toevoegden aan een lijst van verdachten in het fraudeonderzoek dat zich richt op circa 20 personen. Stadler is het eerste bestuurslid van Volkswagen dat is gearresteerd vanwege dieselgate.

Het openbaar ministerie liet in een verklaring weten dat Stadler is gearresteerd vanwege het gevaar dat hij bewijzen, die nodig zijn in het onderzoek, zou kunnen verduisteren. Een rechter in München zal later op de dag bepalen of Stadler in voorlopige hechtenis zal worden genomen.

Een woordvoerder van Volkswagen bevestigde dat Stadler is gearresteerd, maar weigerde verder commentaar te leveren. Audi was niet direct beschikbaar voor commentaar. Ook de advocaat van Stadler was niet direct beschikbaar voor commentaar.

'Audi schuift Nederlander naar voren'

VOLKSWAGEN AG VZO O.N. 15 jun
161,74 -2,26 (-1,38%)

INGOLSTADT (AFN) - De Nederlander Bram Schot wordt interim-topman van Audi. Dat schrijft de Duitse zakenkrant Handelsblatt op basis van bronnen bij de Duitse automaker. Hij neemt de taken van de gearresteerde Rupert Stadler waar.

Schot begon zijn loopbaan bij ABN AMRO en stapte vervolgens over naar Daimler waar hij diverse functies bij onder meer Mercedes-Benz bekleedde. In 2011 verhuisde hij naar Volkswagen, het moederbedrijf van Audi. Sinds vorig najaar jaar zit hij in het bestuur van het luxemerk waar hij zich bezighoudt met verkoop en marketing.

Stadler wordt verdacht van betrokkenheid bij het gesjoemel met de uitstoot van diesels. Hij werd gearresteerd uit vrees dat hij met bewijsmateriaal kan knoeien of getuigen kan beïnvloeden.

Emissions Scandal - Volkswagen fined EUR 1 billion by German prosecutors

Reuters reported that Volkswagen was fined EUR 1 billion over diesel emissions cheating in what amounts to one of the highest ever fines imposed by German authorities against a company, public prosecutors said. The German fine follows a US plea agreement from January 2017 when VW agreed to pay USD 4.3 billion to resolve criminal and civil penalties for installing illegal software in diesel engines to cheat strict US anti-pollution tests.

It said in a statement that "Following thorough examination, Volkswagen AG accepted the fine and it will not lodge an appeal against it. Volkswagen AG, by doing so, admits its responsibility for the diesel crisis and considers this as a further major step towards the latter being overcome."

The prosecutor's office in Braunschweig ordered the fine against the carmaker for organisational deficiencies in supervision which failed to prevent "impermissible software functions" from being installed in 10.7 million cars between 2007 and 2015.

The prosecutor's office said in a statement that "The Prosecutor's Office in Braunschweig ascertained a violation of supervisory duties," adding that the fine did not address civil claims or claims by vehicle owners.

However, the 1 billion fine does however end regulatory offence proceedings against Volkswagen, which the Wolfsburg-based carmaker said it assumed would help to settle further administrative proceedings against VW in Europe.

Goede zet van Porche!!

Porsche stapt in bij onbekende Kroatische EV-fabrikant

Porsche heeft een aandeel van tien procent genomen in Rimac Automobili. De grote Duitse sportwagenfabrikant en de kleine Kroatische EV-bouwer gaan samenwerken op het gebied van elektrische aandrijflijnen.

Erik Kouwenhoven 21-06-18, 20:00

Het bedrijf is weliswaar totaal onbekend bij het grote pubiek, maar ontwikkelde zich het afgelopen decennium tot een van de meest veelbelovende ondernemingen op het gebied van elektromobiliteit. Een enkeling kent Rimac wellicht van zijn elektrische supercars Concept One en Concept Two. Beide auto’s hebben een vermogen van meer dan 1.000 pk. De Concept One was ook betrokken bij een ongeluk met Richard Hammond achter het stuur. Deze auto wordt aangedreven door vier elektromotoren (een voor elk wiel) en kan in 2,6 seconden van stilstand naar 100 km/h sprinten. Zijn topsnelheid is elektronisch begrensd op 355 km/h.

Taycan
Rimac, eigendom van de amper 30 jaar jonge Mate Rimac, begon met elektrisch aangedreven BMW’s, maar telt inmiddels 400 werknemers. Porsche brengt volgend jaar zelf zijn eerste elektrische auto op de markt, de Taycan. Er zijn geen bedragen genoemd voor wat betreft het instappen van Porsche, maar het zal toch wel om een aanzienlijk bedrag gaan. Het geeft tevens aan dat Porsche toch niet alles in eigen huis kan ontwikkelen op elektrisch gebied en kennelijk tijd wil winnen door een ervaren partner te betrekken bij de ontwikkeling van de Taycan en afgeleiden. Rimac werkte eerder ook al samen met merken als Aston Martin, Renault, Jaguar en Koenigsegg.

VW says it's ready to boost US steel at Chattanooga plant

Times Free Press reported that Volkswagen Group of America says it's committed to increasing its reliance on US steel sources and has a strategy to boost the absolute volume and share of metal that it gets from US mills. David Geanacopoulos, senior executive vice president of public affairs and public policy for Volkswagen Group of America Inc, said “Also, the Chattanooga plant has invested in significant changes to its manufacturing processes that will permit VW to substitute U S made for imported steel.”

Geanacopoulos cited VW's USD 1.9 billion investment for far in Chattanooga, where about 3,500 people work making the Passat midsize sedan, the seven-seat Atlas SUV and a planned five-seat SUV starting next year. VW is investing another USD 340 million for the five-seater.

He said “Our comments vividly demonstrate that neither Volkswagen Group of America's US production, nor its imports, create any sort of national security threat. Quite to the contrary, Volkswagen Group of America's presence in the US contributes to economic security, which ensures national security."

The remarks are included in a prepared statement leading up to a hearing today and Friday in Washington, DC, over potential auto tariffs.

The company, which has a production plant in Chattanooga, said it already primarily sourced its steel inputs of roughly 57,736 metric tons last year from US mills.
