Currently reading: New Aston Martin structure to enable more in-house development
Chairman says CEO Tobias Moers' departure ensures management and technical development receives "100% attention"

Aston Martin's new management structure will allow it to do more development in-house, including into electrification, chairman Lawrence Stroll has said.

This morning it was revealed that CEO Tobias Moers is stepping down prior to leaving the company in July, to be replaced by ex-Ferrari boss Amedeo Felisa as CEO and Roberto Feliso as chief technical officer.

Stroll explained the split was to ensure that both the management of Aston Martin and the technical development of future products received "100% attention" - particularly in developing the firm's electric car knowhow.

"Going forward, we want to have almost complete capability to do what we want in-house," said Stroll.
