Bob Kruse Is Leaving GM |
While Chevrolet was excited to have an unusually quick development of Volt and announced that the electric car will be ready several months earlier than they expected, the team did not notice that its leader decided to go different direction.
Bob Kruse, General Motors executive director of global vehicle engineering for hybrids, electric vehicles and batteries, does not want to work for the big auto company and prefers to run his own business. Mr. Kruse has resigned and started E.V. Consulting LLC, his own consulting company.
Media suggests that the ex-director is disappointed with the development and the final result on Volt, but Mr. Kruse says his departure has nothing to do with the future cars and Volt specifically. He understands that the company did not expect his resignation, but it is the time for him to go his way, apart from GM.
According to the statements from the auto company, there will be no delay in the development and the production of the electric car because of Kruse's departure. They still plan to start building Volt as a production vehicle in November 2010. The position will not be empty for long: it is taken by Micky Bly, the current director of hybrid/electric vehicle integration and controls.
