Ferdinand Piech, chair of family-controlled Volkswagen, has hinted he could stay at the carmaker for another five to seven years, despite being 75 years old.
In April, VW shareholders voted for Piech to serve a third term as chairman, to end in December 2016. But in an interview with German newspaper Bild am Sonntag last week, Piech, whose family holds a majority stake in VW, said he wanted to stay around longer to support chief executive Martin Winterkorn.
