Carl Peter Forster: Tata Motors goes for a new head

Carl Peter Forster

In a measure to adorn Tata Motors with a global image, the Indian carmaker has appointed former Opel CEO Carl-Peter Forster as its CEO. Back in November, it was first reported that Carl-Peter Forster would join Tata Motors to run its British operations at Jaguar-Land Rover.

While that rumour was not untrue at its entirety as he was named as the CEO of the parent company Tata Motors with responsibility for all of its automotive operations including Jaguar-Land Rover.

The 55-year old Forster, left Opel last fall following the collapse of the deal to sell a majority to stake to Magna International, and he was reportedly very angry at the way the U.S. management handled the whole deal. Forster had been with Opel for eight years following a 13-year stint at BMW.
