FRANKFURT--Key Volkswagen AG shareholders continue to back the
car maker's finance chief Hans Dieter Pötsch as the next
supervisory board chairman, they said on Wednesday, amid
speculation of further management changes.
"The Porsche-Piech family stands firmly behind Mr. Pötsch as
chairman of the Volkswagen supervisory board," said a spokesman for
Porsche SE, the family holding company that owns a majority of
Volkswagen's voting rights.
Core shareholders and labor representatives at Volkswagen will
meet later on Wednesday to discuss developments in the company's
emission crisis, which erupted after U.S. environmental authorities
said the car maker had intentionally installed software to make
vehicles perform better in emissions tests than on the road.
As a result of the scandal, Volkswagen has moved to streamline
management, and former chief executive Martin Winterkorn
resigned.
