Volkswagen’s Thomas Zernechel is retiring at the end of 2020 after 16 years as head of VW Group Logistics. He will be replaced on January 1 next year by Simon Motter, previously head of supply chain at Audi’s Ingolstadt plant, who joined VW Group Logistics at the beginning of November in preparation for the new role.
During his tenure Zernechel merged logistics processes across plant, brand and group functions, with an eye on bringing greater sustainability to the company, including through the use of new technology, according to Gerd Walker, head of production and logistics at VW Group.
