VW Internal Investigation Uncovers 430,000 Vehicles With Fudged CO2 Figures

In a recent announcement, Volkswagen said that it has found approximately 430,000 affected cars with implausible CO2 figures in its 2016-model line-up, the list including now four gasoline engines.


VW’s internal investigations into the current 2016 models lead to narrowing down the vehicles actually affected, from 800,000 cars initially estimated by the company, with implausible C02 figures. From the total 2016 model line-up, 430,046 vehicles are affected across the Group, from VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat. Volkswagen also released a list of the individual brands’ affected models. The list can be accessed from here. It also said the relevant authorities are being informed of the latest findings and its importers and trading partners as well. The next step will now be, Volkswagen said, for the new CO2 figures to be assessed under the supervision of the German Federal Vehicle and Transport Authority.
