The man that Opel out of the doldrums has helped, is now at Volkswagen in order to go.

In a last decade it went not so good with Opel. Where the brand long gold as a serious alternative in the middle class, they were on all sides, overtaken by competition from their own country (read VAG), South Korea and France. Thomas Sedran made as interim CEO of Opel that the brand is again on the rise, and with cars like the new Astra, Corsa and Karl back to the marbles. They wanted to even the largest of Europe, though there is in that case still some work to be done.

Not for Thomas Sedran, that is, in fact, when Volkswagen started as head of strategy. That is a strong point of Sedran and that they can at Volkswagen currently, but what is good to use. There must, after all, worked hard to a future after Dieselgate. It shuns VAG hiring of senior executives and women competitors are not, because except Sedran, later incorporated the group previously Daimler-topvrouw Chirstine Hohmann-Dennhardt as head of legal.

And about that picture above, even with its slogan, Volkswagen cheating. This they have not thought of myself, but stolen from Opel, who in the years ’60 the Kadett along said members should cultivate.
