Opel CEO on reaching breakeven in 2016: 'We can see the target now'

This is the year Opel expects to break even financially after more than a decade of losses, finally rewarding parent General Motors' huge investment in its European division. Karl-Thomas Neumann, who next month will celebrate the start of his fourth year as Opel CEO, says the automaker has beaten all internal targets since he arrived. He is confident that 2016 will be successful. Neumann said, however, that the final miles of any race are the always the hardest. He spoke with Automotive News Europe Editor Luca Ciferri, Managing Editor Douglas A. Bolduc and Correspondent Christiaan Hetzner at last month's Detroit auto show.
