Will New Volkswagen CEO Matthias Muller Survive Confidence Vote Today?
He had to ask for a second interview from NPR after seemingly saying that Volkswagen didn’t mislead anyone.
And critics say Muller alienated U.S. regulators instead of easing tensions over the emissions scandal.
By the time he arrived at the Chattanooga plant last week, he wasn’t making any appearances in front of the media.
So when company officials called a special meeting for Tuesday in Germany, there was speculation they would sack him.
However, sources tell the Wall Street Journal that Muller is safe, for now.
The paper reports that the meeting of company directors will focus on VW’s relationship with U.S. environmental authorities.
The source says that company leaders acknowledge that Muller’s trip was not successful, but the meeting isn’t about him.
But the U.S. isn’t Volkswagen’s only problem area right now.
South Korea has announced they will file criminal charges against the company’s top official in their country over the emissions scandal.
