Mazda will appoint Masahiro Moro, director and senior controlling government officer, as its new president and CEO, the Japanese automaker claimed on Friday.

The 62-yr-old, a 40-12 months company veteran who earlier served as the head of the automaker’s North America functions, will formally consider about pending the acceptance of the shareholders and board in June.

Current President and CEO Akira Marumoto, who took up his part in 2018, will stage down from his posts at that time, the enterprise claimed. Marumoto would keep on to serve as an adviser, the Nikkei newspaper reported independently on Friday.

The management shake-up arrives as the enterprise, which is owned 5.1% by automotive large Toyota, mentioned in November it would ramp up shelling out to electrify its motor vehicles and is looking at investing in battery production.

Mazda stated incumbent agent director and chairman of the board Kiyotaka Shobuda would keep on being in his article.
