The leaders of Volkswagen's supervisory board plan to meet soon to try to iron out an effective working relationship between chairman Ferdinand Piech and chief executive Martin Winterkorn.
This comes amid a leadership crisis at the German car maker.
Several key members of the supervisory board including Piech are to meet ahead of VW's annual shareholder meeting on May 5.
This is according to the Handelsblatt newspaper, who cited sources close to the supervisory board.
Piech is the patriarch of the family that founded Volkswagen and has been a dominant figure at the car maker for more than two decades.
He triggered the leadership crisis at the Wolfsburg-based firm by criticising Winterkorn in a magazine article earlier this month.
But Piech's iron grip on the German firm has been weakened following a confrontation with senior board members last week that nearly resulted in a push to oust him, sources told Reuters.
