Carl-Peter Forster, the head of General Motors' Europe operations, is stepping down just days after the US carmaker decided to hold on to its Opel/Vauxhall operations.
GM said last night that Mr Forster would leave the company but would remain in an advisory role as part of GM's search for a permanent successor. He is expected to be succeeded on an interim basis by Nick Reilly, GM's head of international operations.
