The former automotive executive was recruited by CNH Industrial, the conglomerate behind many well-known agriculture and heavy machinery brands, in August. When he arrived, his work was already cut out for him.

"We are in a heavy duty environment," Mülhäuser said. "Our thinking is that, will there be electrification with batteries? Yes.
