Matthias Muller, the current chief of Volkswagen subsidiary Porsche, is expected to be named CEO of Volkswagen, sources close to the VW Supervisory Board reported yesterday. The VW Board will hold a previously scheduled meeting in Wolfsburg, Germany, today, where sources with knowledge of the situation say Muller will be tapped for the top job at VW. The VW Passat, Jetta and Audi A3 at the center of the EPA probe are built on the same platform, which is why they use the same diesel engine software programmed to fool emissions testers. Sources familiar with the matter said that Muller’s appointment was not finalized and could still change.
