最出人意料的高層洗牌

史蒂芬?雅各布（左）作為沃爾沃（Volvo）汽車公司的CEO一向以作風強硬出名，但近日他由于與董事會就公司戰略方向問題發生矛盾，被迫離職。他的麻煩據說從2010年沃爾沃前CEO漢斯?奧洛夫?奧爾森再次加盟公司并擔任副總裁的時候就已經開始了。奧爾森曾于2000至2005年間擔任沃爾沃的CEO。董事會用另一名瑞典人哈坎?薩繆爾森取代了在德國出生的雅各布。

Most surprising management change

Stefan Jacoby (left), the hard-charging CEO of Volvo Cars, was driven out of the company after clashing with his board of directors over strategic direction. His troubles are said to have begun when Hans-Olov Olsson (right), who was Volvo's CEO from 2000 to 2005, rejoined the company as vice chairman in 2010. The German-born Jacoby was replaced by another Swede, Hakan Samuelsson.

最意料之中的高層換血

菲斯克汽車公司（Fisker Automotive）一向麻煩不斷，CEO權柄的歸屬也可謂一波三折。先是創始人亨里克?菲斯克（左）在今年二月將位子讓給工廠專家、前克萊斯勒高管湯姆?萊索達（中），萊索達又于今年八月將位子讓給原通用汽車的混合動力汽車大師托尼?波薩瓦茲（右）。菲斯克公司的插電式混合動力轎車Karma的上市時間已經推遲兩年了，而且還有許多電子問題沒有解決。現在這家公司正在試圖籌措資金，以保持公司繼續運轉。

Least surprising management changes

The CEO wheel at struggling Fisker Automotive made three full turns: founder Henrik Fisker (left) gave way to factory expert and ex-Chrysler executive Tom LaSorda (center) in February, and LaSorda, in turn, gave way to GM's former hybrid car guru Tony Posawatz (right) in August. Fisker is two years late getting its plug-in Karma into production, and the car has been plagued with electrical problems. It is out trying to raise money to stay in business.

現代“油耗門”

現代起亞集團（Hyundai/Kia）今年11月承認，他們夸大了90萬輛2011至2013年出廠的汽車的續航里程。其中包擴2013款雅紳特（Accent）、飛思（Veloster）、伊蘭特（Elantra）在內的6款車型此前標出的續航里程均為每加侖40英里，但實際它們的續航里程為每加侖37到38英里。現代起亞集團將出資對消費者的這一部分燃油里程誤差進行補償，另外還會支付15%的額外補償，為此現代可能會花費上億美元。

Hypermiling, lap #1

Hyundai/Kia admitted in November that it overstated the mileage ratings on 900,000 2011-13 vehicles. Six models that it previously rated at 40 miles per gallon, including the 2013 Accent, Veloster, and Elantra, have been reclassified at 37 or 38 mpg. Hyundai is compensating affected owners by picking up the tab for the additional lifetime fuel costs associated with the rating adjustment -- plus a 15% premium. Its total bill could top $100 million.
