The Germans have a master plan that excesses as Dieselgate in the future to avoid.

The key word: rotation. Hans Dieter Pötsch, chairman of the supervisory board of Volkswagen, wants to staff the key positions rotate, so he says in the Welt am Sonntag. This is necessary to ensure that engineers in the geniep guilty of, for example, tampering with software, such as that in recent years was in the context of uitstootcijfers.

One and another would have to contribute to the improvement of the control, which after the recent developments further point needs to be taken. The rotation system is mainly concerned with techies that engine software build. Pötsch is aware that not many people are that such work may run, but VAG is apparently big enough for that problem to overcome.

It all sounds pretty plausible, though we wonder whether the continuity is maintained when personnel in key positions only for a certain period of time when a particular brand works. In any case, it is a positive signal that the new board of VAG clear his stamp on the policy and is not afraid to put things on a different bow to throw. But well, they have little choice.
