UPDATED: Volkswagen Group boss Herbert Diess steps down 'by mutual consent'

CEO after assuming Diess's responsibilities, with VW Group chief financial officer Arno Arlitz moving into the role of chief operating officer to support him with"day-to-day operations".

Diess took over as chairman of the VW Group in 2018 from Matthias Mueller with the brief to transform the company after the lows of the 2015 dieselgate scandal.Tesla sales expanded fast and tough CO2 legislation in both Europe and China shortened the remaining runway for combustion engine vehicles. However, Diess has clashed with powerful German unions as questions about how the company would replace jobs in the electric era created unease in the workforce. In November the VW works council reportedly issued a vote in no confidence in Diess as anger over the direction of the company mounted. Some commentators wondered if Diess might have taken the fall for the company’s missteps in the software rollout for both the MEB models and new combustion engine cars.
