Together, the nine top managers form the ‘Truck Board’, the holding’s managing body.

Renschler said: “We want to create a global champion with our truck holding. That is why it is important for us to unite excellent, international and integrative personalities in our lean team.”

The managers have extensive experience in the commercial vehicles industry. They will move into the holding’s headquarters in Brunswick – located close to the Volkswagen Group – at the end of this year and will network with the brand locations in Munich, Södertälje and São Paulo.

“The holding will provide focused and efficient management of the Volkswagen Group’s truck business,” Renschler said. “We will bring the units closer together, intensify the global presence and strengthen our brands. Everyone, above all our customers, will benefit from that.”
