Volkswagen Refuses To Pay £1 Million Bill To Upgrade UK Emissions Testing Procedures

Volkswagen has refused to pay £1 million to the Department for Transport (DfT) in order to upgrade emissions testing procedures following the Dieselgate emissions scandal.

According to Autocar's sister title The ENDS Report, the money is needed to fund a market surveillance system that will be used to monitor the emissions of production vehicles to prevent a similar case happening again.

Meanwhile, VW/Audi Group's (VAG's) PR department keeps churning out releases claiming they're "fully co-operating" with authorities. Yeah, we're the good guys now. We're amazing. Trust us. We're great.

Uh-huh :-/
