Daimler AG has announced that Dr Wolfgang Bernhard will assume board of management responsibility for Daimler Trucks as of April 1, 2013.
He will replace Andreas Renschler, who will assume board of management responsibility for production and purchasing of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars.
The German-based corporation also extended the contract of Dr Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the board of management of Daimler AG, and head of Mercedes-Benz Cars, until December 31, 2016.
Wolfgang Bernhard has been a member of the board of management of Daimler AG and head of operations Mercedes-Benz Cars since February 18, 2010.
“Wolfgang Bernhard and Andreas Renschler are two highly experienced members of Daimler’s board of management.
“With this change, they will both be able to utilise their management know-how from their previous responsibilities within their new functions, thus expanding their own expertise in all automobile areas,” Daimler says in a statement.
