Volkswagen has named Thomas Sedran to head its commercial vehicles division, the automaker stated on Tuesday, confirming media reports.

Currently Volkswagen’s head of strategy, Sedran will assume his new post on September 1, it informed in a statement. He replaces Eckhard Scholz, who is leaving at his own will.

Sedran joined the automaker in 2015, after heading General Motors’ Chevrolet and Cadillac brands in Europe.

A person knowledgeable about the matter had told Reuters previously that Volkswagen was set to name Sedran as head of its commercial vehicles division, that makes vans, light commercial vehicles and pick-up trucks.

Sedran’s appointment is the second management change the automaker announced this week.

On Monday Volkswagen declared that Stefan Sommer, former chief executive of automotive provider ZF Friedrichshafen, would become its procurement chief from January 1, 2019.
