Volkswagen will pick the development chief of its Czech division Skoda to replace suspended executive Heinz-Jakob Neusser as head of technical development at the core namesake brand, Auto Motor und Sport reported, citing officials at VW.
Neusser was suspended last month together with R&D chiefs of luxury brand Audi and sports-car maker Porsche as VW is pushing investigations of the diesel emissions scandal.
VW was not immediately available for comment.
