Reithofer: “Vision and entrepreneurship for the future success of the BMW Group”

 

Munich. At year end, there will be a handover of responsibilities in the Board of Management of BMW Group: At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of BMW AG appointed Joachim Post (50) as a new member of the Board of Management. Effective 1 January 2022, Post, who has a PhD in mechanical engineering, will take over the Purchasing and Supplier Network division from Andreas Wendt.

 

Joachim Post has been with the BMW Group since 2002 and is currently head of the “Product Line Midsize Class BMW” unit. He was previously the manager responsible for the BMW Group’s vehicle strategy and, as the head of various BMW model lines, pushed ahead with electrification of the vehicle fleet.

 

Andreas Wendt (63) has been a member of the Board of Management of the BMW Group since October 2018. Since 2002, Wendt, who has a PhD in mechanical engineering, has held central management positions at the company, including as head of the engine plant in Steyr (Austria) and the BMW Group’s Bavarian plants in Dingolfing and Regensburg.

 

“In Joachim Post, the Board of Management of the BMW Group is gaining a proven manager with extensive product expertise. As head of vehicle strategy, he played a key role in devising future model generations. For the future success of the company, we are relying on executives with the vision and entrepreneurial spirit to lead the BMW Group through the transformation,” said Chairman of the Supervisory Board of BMW AG Norbert Reithofer on Wednesday.

He digitised cooperation with suppliers and made it more efficient. Together with his team, he also steered the BMW Group successfully through the height of the chip shortage. The Supervisory Board would like to thank Dr Wendt for his dedicated service. We wish him good health and all the best.”

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
