Wolfgang Hatz, a head engineer at Porsche, was suspended in the wake of the emission scandal stemming from its parent company Volkswagen. It’s suspected that tens of thousands of Porsche models may be affected by the scandal, and Hatz was suspended pending further investigations along with a whole host of other senior figures.<\/p>\n

Seven months on from the suspension he has left his post and has been replaced by head of quality management, Michael Steiner.
\n
\nMr. Hatz is a former head of group engine development at Volkswagen and reportedly decided to leave his post because his suspension is still in place. A law firm in America is currently investigating the role that executives and senior figures played in the scandal, which is said to now be at an advanced stage.<\/p>\n

Whether there is any link between the progress of the investigations and the decision by Hatz to leave remains unclear.<\/p>\n

The news comes just days after Volkswagen finally reached an agreement in the U.S. to compensate victims of the scandal<\/a>, but lawyers acting for the UK wing of the German automotive giants are still trying to defend the action we have brought on behalf of thousands of owners.<\/p>\n

Ultimately their defence is of no concern to us and we remain satisfied that they don’t have a leg to stand on<\/a>. The decision to pay compensation in the U.S. is certainly positive for our action here in the UK as well.<\/p>\n

If you have yet to join our action then you still have time, but we’re urging anyone who is seriously interested in claiming back compensation<\/a> to join as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
