Traton SE said Friday that Bernd Osterloh, currently chairman of Volkswagen AG's works council and supervisory-board member, will join the truck maker's executive board.

Mr. Osterloh will be responsible for human resources and take up the position from May 1, Traton said.

The executive-board member mandate at Traton has been vacant following the restructuring of the board in summer 2020, the Volkswagen subsidiary said.
