German Manager Magazin: Oliver Blume, Mercedes and BMW play exit games-the newsletter “Manage: Mobility” 004071

Dear reader, dear reader,

This issue is about exit strategies several times. One who should think about what the next steps look like for him is German-headed Richard Lutz (60). It must be from the grand coalition if it comes about, apparently no dismantling of the group fears. Nevertheless, Lutz threatens the siding: on the train, legal, legal and organizational changes should occur.

In contrast, our topics of the week are more likely to be voluntary exits:

Topic of the week: Like Oliver Blume, a possible farewell to Porsche prepared

When Oliver Blume (56) talks about his work, he likes to use sports metaphors. Preferably from the football world. Blume sees himself as Libero who arranges his team on the pitch. The stress control is becoming increasingly important in sport. A topic that has also accompanied flower since he has reached the top of the Volkswagen Empire. The man is also head of the overall group and Porsche – Schonphases are practically excluded. Soon he could get longer breaks. Oliver Blume is working on a new line -up for the entire group; With a strengthened central, weaker brands, fewer board members; It would also be preparation for a possible exit at Porsche. My colleague Michael Freitag Gives you exclusive insights into the Wolfsburg wrestling

Accidents with e-scooters often pass through Rowdys on scooters. The researchers come to the conclusion Technical University of Chalmers 

in Gothenburg. They recorded almost 7,000 trips with rental electric scooters using cameras and sensors. There were 19 accidents and 42 near -collisions. In addition to the lack of experience of the users, questionable to ruthless behavior was often decisive: from the one -handed driving to group trips to cell phone use on the scooter.

Number of week: 20

Volkswagen and Porsche crisis – and with it heart and lungs of the Porsche. Values ​​on their main participations tore a huge hole at the holding hole: 20 billion euros for 2024. Logical that there is no party mood for the Porsches and Piëchs, holding boss Hans Dieter Pötsch (73) pounded on Wednesday “Consistent implementation” of the austerity programs with the car manufacturers and put on the dividend. In the future, Porsche SE wants to become more independent of the car. You could also say: she wants to fire from several pipes. Holding looks around after a further core participation, as the possible goal is the armaments industry.

If you want to show how safe your cars are, you like to boast crash test results. Clearly too boring for Lei Jun (55). In addition to smartphones, the Xiaomi boss now also sells cars that are supposed to make others look like ghost drivers. For this he hires, among other things, experts from BMW. And he uses unorthodox marketing measures. To prove that the battery of a Xiaomi SU7 Ultra is particularly well protected, Le Le Le Le didn’t simply let one of the cars drive to the wall. Instead, he climbed onto a six -story building and from there threw a watermelon onto the floor. It was just as coated as the battery of a SU7. Protection should be “bulletproof”; And indeed: the melon remained intact (If you can believe the corresponding video 

). Take that, Euro Ncap!

Come through the week well.
