Even though the carmaker has promised to fix the problem in only a year, only 110,000 vehicles in the UK got fixed. It's still unclear how much more people have to wait, since 9 out of 10 drivers are still waiting for their car to get fixed. The chair of Transport Select Committee, said the efforts...

Kurt McNeil claims he has a strategy that can help GM to increase its sales numbers, despite the fact that GM's market share has fallen ...

In the last report revealed the Department says that a strategy would enable the DFT to meet decarbonisation and air quality targets. The chair of EAC said the uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles such as electric cars is too low to meet the US' climate change targets at the lowest cost to the public, all the air quality targets that should have been met in 2010 will be hit in 2020 at the earliest. It's been almost a year now since it'...
Two months after agreeing to a $14.7 billion deal with federal regulators over its cheating on diesel emissions tests, Volkswagen has reached another settlement covering its 650 U.S. dealers.The maker will pay $1.2 billion over the next 18 months to cover the losses dealers claim to have run up as a result of the scandal, in large part due to a sharp drop in the maker's sales.
