Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diess will stay on with rejigged responsibilities, the car maker said on Thursday, ending weeks of uncertainty about his future amid conflict with unions as the company ratcheted up spending plans on electric cars

Ralf Brandstaetter, who took over from Diess as head of the core Volkswagen brand last year, will join the board and lead a new division named Volkswagen Passenger Cars from January 1, the company said in a statement.

“I cannot complain about a lack of responsibilities — I continue to feel fully responsible for the company,” Diess said. Preference shares in the company traded 1% lower, giving up some gains after being boosted by speculation about a possible listing of luxury division Porsche AG earlier this week.
