VW strikes another US emissions scandal deal
The agreement is another step towards allowing the German car maker to put the emissions cheating scandal behind it. In June VW agreed to a $15bn settlement for another 475,000 vehicles affected by the scandal. VW spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan said the deal was "Another important step forward in our efforts to make things right for our customers". The firm admitted in September 2015 to installing secret software in 475,000 US 2-litre diesel cars to cheat exhaust emissions tests and make them appear cleaner in testing than they really were. The US Justice Department said VW had agreed to contribute another $225m to a fund to offset excess diesel emissions.
