bigger money in the fitness industry. this is your business i'm in berlin it looks like for saddam is about to be turned upside down the advisory board of the world's biggest carmaker today announced the biggest structural shake up in the company's eighty year history the automaker is planning several new brand groups the plan is to make the company more efficient and crucially folks employees have a new boss to. the w.'s new c.e.o. have d.c. is wasting no time in his bid to make the famously unwieldy company lighter on its feet. to lister's in for expense in our name to make volkswagen our front man or of the auto industry when it comes to economic and innovative strength and sustainability. so. the idea behind this is our

conviction that a more efficient company should be steering strong brands. volkswagen three years ago he's been a success as head of the company's important v.w. brand so he's off to a good start their focus is highly focused and also has an eye on the future developments. but i am an employee here at volkswagen. and i've witnessed him at various events. and i can say that he's performed really well since he came here for. absolute fear and this is only the beginning for hebat d.c. he's planning a major overhaul of the company which includes a stronger focus on the automakers business in china and then there's the question of efficiency how best to run such a huge company with so many different brands dissolution organizing them in groups which he hopes will inject some dynamism into the car maker the plan looks like

this the company's mass market brands will form one group in it the core brands v.w. skoda c at then there's the premium segment featuring audi the super premium with the company's four luxury brands and truck and bus which says v.w. is being prepared to go public. and what about electric cars many observers say he was coming to late to alternative drive trains but that is something have a d.s. seems driven to change our reporters stephen beardsley is at the super supervisory board meeting at the headquarters. headquarters in both spoke and from london we're joined by eleanor season automotive analyst at ev a call as i welcome to you both stephen there's just been a press conference involved spall what's the latest.

care hard i think you already talk to us in the biggest developments that we've heard about that includes the regrouping of a lot of the brands into these three categories but i think the biggest thing we can say here is that the biggest message was one of urgency if not impatience on the part of volkswagen when we saw one studio purchase the chairman of the supervisory board and have a d.s. the new chairman of the board of management both come out they had serious faces on he didn't spend a whole lot of time talking about the past talking about diesel gate for example the diesel scandal they referred to it and see approach said that it was mostly behind them and then they moved forward we heard. very early on so what is my plan and then he launched into it so as you can see as you've already said this regrouping is meant to make it more efficient and the word speed came up a lot and the word. efficiency the idea of we're going to move forward now. and turn to you. moving forward but if we look at looking back on last year.

looks to be financially sound why the restructuring and does it make sense. well folks are going to still a very very inefficient col make it was some of the highest cost ratios in the industry so the group has far more potential and if it wants to you know be fit for the future or spend the money on electric vehicles and autonomous driving they need to really drive efficiency forward and for that the new structure is a better set up. again happened d.s. what do you think of him is he had the right man at the right time for v.w. . he's the best manager possible for folks who are going right now he's has the experience of working for supply of a boss for the biggest company in the supply chain he's got a great experience from driving efficiency at b.m.w. he's now made us the volkswagen brand so you know it's the pros and cons and the special nature of the folks who are granted but also and he also really understands

the future and mobility two point zero is very tech savvy the way i experienced him at least i think he's really very very good news for everyone. you. are talking about the right man at the right time stephen there are rumors that. a predecessor that was tired of his job only took in twenty fifteen what are you hearing that. yeah that's widely reported here you hear that very often not only was he tired of the job so here he may not have wanted it in the first place remember that he was at porsche's top when he was tapped to leave volkswagen through its most difficult time this is the time in which volkswagen it made it to criminal charges in the u.s. so you have to keep in mind this is a very dark time a very difficult time in which he and the company were both under fire and in which he was the face of again folks wagon it's hard to overstate the significance of

volkswagen to this country. was at its lowest moment so maybe not the easiest task and we've heard that was by mutual agreement that he was let go or that he's moving on in other words. and in halls thank you very much to both of you now with all these changes that mean for investors for. for the while at the w our reporters at the factory gates involved spoke to find out read all about it you'll find all our v.w. coverage on our website at www dot com slash business. donald trump has announced that he is looking into rejoining the transpacific partnership u.s. senators have revealed the president has assigned economic advisors to take another look at a possible re entry despite leaving the agreement early last year on friday he tweeted that he would only rejoin t.v. p. of his of stance really bad a deal was offered to him and to former u.s.

president barack obama japanese finance minister tara also has since said japan will welcome a re entry if it means trump recognizes the significance of the pact it's been many years since when you wanted to get fit it meant running or swimming a few laps lifting some iron and having a beer afterwards to date gyms employ computer controlled treadmills and drill instructors who yell at you while senses measure your pulse rate blood sugar levels and whatnot and lady of smartphone tells all your facebook friends that you've burned twenty three calories if you're into that kind of thing the following report from the world's biggest fitness trade fair in cologne is for you. it's not that i don't like sports i just prefer watching them to do it. and now here i am a skinny guy in strong men central sixty million europeans have fitness club

memberships now days i don't. pumping iron or running on the treadmill i think that's very boring for the fitness industry is constantly coming up with new ways to make customers sweat so i'm looking for something today that can get me fits. the first thing i realize working out today is a digital if it were a t. shirts that measure your heart rate apps to check your body shape and some companies turn exercise into a computer game entirely we only use the super powers of the jumper with our technology so basically we without if camera we capture a person and put it to the game world so at the same time the person is jumping on a real trembling but bots immersed in the game itself. sounds just like my thing by jumping in the real world i control my character and the game world i chasing the high school is fun and motivating what a shame the set up with more than thirteen thousand euros one fits into my living.
