Prof. Dr. Winterkorn "I am shocked by the events of the past
few days. Above all, I am stunned that misconduct on such a scale was
possible in the Volkswagen Group.
As CEO I accept responsibility for the
irregularities that have been found in diesel engines and have
therefore requested the Supervisory Board to agree on terminating my
function as CEO of the Volkswagen Group. I am doing this in the
interests of the company even though I am not aware of any wrong
doing on my part.
Volkswagen needs a fresh start – also
in terms of personnel. I am clearing the way for this fresh start
with my resignation.
I have always been driven by my desire
to serve this company, especially our customers and employees.
Volkswagen has been, is and will always be my life.
The process of clarification and
transparency must continue. This is the only way to win back trust. I
am convinced that the Volkswagen Group and its team will overcome
this grave crisis.”
