innings that's for kristof the big difference between porsche and b.m.w. with their high flying sports models and saab was that the swedes were the first to put a turbo charger in a mid-sized family sedan and trim down the innovative technology for everyday use and they proceeded carefully first giving turbo prototypes to one hundred drivers from the public and letting them clock up four point five million kilometers and it was a success the saab ninety nine true always reliable and robust as the proverbial swedish steels for its speed. despite its respectable one of. forty five horsepower the ninety nine turbo was no sensation on the sporting front the turbo charger moved saab into the performance executive range upper middle class without its having to develop a costly six cylinder engine. to be able man stuff a motto was toward not horse power christophe explained so drivers don't get that second turbo kick instead the charger starts to build up pressure in just one thousand five hundred r.p.m. by three thousand rabs it's already reached its maximum pre

big b.m.w. plant there in south carolina, producing b.m.w.'s. when that car is produced, all of the imbedded taxation of the corporate taxes, b.m.w.'s paying, the payroll taxes b.m.w. workers are paying, all of those taxes are built into the price of that b.m.w. and when we ship it out to -- for sale to the rest of the world, the price of that car is higher because americans built it. that's just nonsense. why in the world have we chosen to disadvantage ourselves relative to the rest of the world? well, when you choose to have an income tax and when you choose to have a payroll tax, you then choose to bury those costs in the price of your goods and services. it's a competitive disadvantage of america. i mentioned payroll taxes, mr. speaker. payroll taxes are the largest tax on 85%. we just had this will whole long debate over reforming the income tax system. we had this whole debate about how it is we can provide more money by changes to the income tax system and it was an important debate to have. but 85% of american families pay more in payrol

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 wago

here in germany who would fear job losses for any more strict cuttings from volkswagen disc aim from b.m.w. almost three years ago as you said how via and he came two months before the diesel scandal hit folks wagon and at the time that he arrived it was said that he had his eyes on the top position that he now it's been confirmed will take over but that of course he came at the wrong time his star fell a little bit especially as he got into a little bit of heat with the unions for his cost cutting tendencies. we've heard that since then of course he's been very close to some of the families that are the biggest stakeholders and movers behind volkswagen and that he's sort of ascended back to the top we don't know exactly what his stamp will be on volkswagen but we look forward to hearing more about it hopefully tomorrow now let's take a look at the bigger picture here stephen because we know that fox has been doing pretty well actually under the now former c.e.o. the company had record profits and especially here in germany analysts and the press have been consistently saying that this mov

staying on the topic of emissions german auto giant b.m.w. is the latest car maker to be sued in the united states the company is accused of installing tens of thousands of so-called defeat devices to enable cheating in emissions tests attorneys want their clients to be reimbursed for the purchases of their vehicles. and another embattled car maker this time folks bargain has brought back almost three hundred fifty thousand diesel vehicles from its customers the united states this has naturally created a storage challenge which the company has addressed by leasing a total of thirty seven facilities including a shuttered football stadium in suburban detroit the plan is to fix and eventually resell the vehicles. south korea has agreed to cut steel exports to the u.s. by thirty percent to avoid punitive tariffs the country's trade minister described negotiations with the u.s. as fears but insisted his country wasn't in an inferior position the asian country is the third largest steel exporter to the u.s. after canada and brazil to pledge to redu

other we don't already know he came from b.m.w. over two and a half years ago and he he now leads as he had hoped to when he first came over his star had dimmed a little bit in the chaos of the diesel scandal and with some back and forth with the unions here again known as a cost cutting that could be a concern for workers here so again hope to learn more in the coming days volkswagen still has numerous legal cases still open regarding the diesel gate this scandal i can't shake off the tight. there's a lot of belief that that's what that's exactly what this change is aimed at again much has miller was brought on to take the company through its lowest moment and it's obviously seen that that has is it's believed that this decision was made because volkswagen believes that that moment has passed that it is safe again and in many objective measures by many objective measures it is it sales are up it's record profits right now it is the largest car maker in the world having be toyota in two thousand and sixteen and maintain the title l

timeline and be b.m.w. are preparing to ramp up production without chinese joint venture partners looking over the shoulder. audi unveiled a stretched version of its luxury q five s.u.v. a big hit with the affluent middle class it's fun to drive and offers a good ten centimeters more leg room in the back seat china's been a billion dollar market for audi for many years now though it has to share happy earnings with chinese investment partner f a w. l we are a good part this year of its joint venture structure of thirty years. i think it is very important with the size we have in our business that you really have local partners and that we aim for that many foreign carmakers see the opening up of the market as a publicity stunt. and joint venture contracts with state owned companies are long term something german manufacturers have had to deal with for years now. you have a global footprint is a strong presence in china. and in the u.s. of course we appreciate free trade having said this is thanks to our pro

here in germany who would fear job losses for any more strict cuttings from volkswagen disc aim from b.m.w. almost three years ago as you said hadiya and he came two months before the diesel scandal hit folks wagon and at the time that here rived it was said that he had his eyes on the top position that he now it's been confirmed will take over but that of course it came at the wrong time on volkswagen but we look forward to hearing more about it hopefully tomorrow now let's take a look at the bigger picture here stephen because we know that fox has been doing pretty well actually under the now former c.e.o. the company had record profits and especially and here in germany analysts and the press have been consistently saying that this move came as a big surprise so why such a big change and why now. it's a fascinating question and i think that's the question that everyone wants answered hopefully tomorrow when we do have the official introduction of the changes. as you said miller has been seen as donning of as having done a very good job by all objective measures like in stock is back up

around for a long while time have probably got the best handle on the company now mr deeds came from b.m.w. so did company can be pretty confident that he was not involved in the details can we know that mr miller might you know be slightly challenge by more recent discussion to poor trolls who were somewhat involved in the d.c. gate scandal so in that sense these presents a fresh face which the company hopes hopes to have some rather strange statements that come from the group and push the parent company saying mr miller quote signaled a fundamental willingness to accept the changes is he being ousted. this very hard to say we know that from the very beginning he always made it clear that he wants to serve only one term and we do know him to you personally didn't like the challenges that he was facing for example around his he celery and it's quite feasible that he says well you know if possible i'm absolutely fine to leave and to have somebody else to start the fresh frankly speaking as an outsider it's impossible to say and even from inside you hear these two very different interpretati

right when there was talk of bringing in a true outsider is an outsider in the sense that he came from b.m.w. two and a half years ago but he's an insider in the sense that he's been in the auto industry for quite some time in another in another sense this is though quite a turnaround when you look at the scale of the restructuring and then also when you look at how much responsibility they're giving to d.c. is going to hold his control over the brand itself and then he's going to assume some other duties on top of being the board of management chairmen and the reason for this is that urgency again for volkswagen to be lighter on its feet as the piece said that's very important for volkswagen right now they want to look to the future and be a little bit more efficient and much faster daniel to try to break the whole v.w. . bug and i can tell you they're actually very optimistic that he is the right one for the job they call him a man of action and also from the share holders perspective they like the new structure with a different division that has been really praised your most lying has bee

and b.m.w. the docks down clearly now the big question is how long these battle is going to last it's not it's a hard one to ask you will be i know when will the c.e.o. step in for example i mean it's a tory it's least. it is notoriously slow and it depends on how it's being called upon to step in and talk to an expert and he said yes they were called in already on intellectual property by the americans chinese to his knowledge not yet appealed there if there is a case in front of the w t o in case of tariffs it takes probably at least six months to get a decision whether the arguments put in by the person who wants to impose tariffs are justified and if one of the parties is to satisfied with the outcome then it could go into a so-called w.t. court and that would take at least a year and if there's an appeal another year or so this could drag on for a long w.t. or was probably not the answer because there are so many unilateral at least bilateral things going on if the w t o comes in play then
