Volkswagen CO2 issue largely concluded, Singapore vehicles unaffected

Just a month after questions relating to the CO₂ figures measured on some of the Group's models arose, Volkswagen has largely concluded the clarification of the matter.

Following extensive internal investigations and measurement checks, it is now clear that almost all of these model variants do correspond to the CO₂ figures originally determined. No unlawful change to the stated fuel consumption and CO₂ figures have been found to date. This means that these vehicles can be marketed and sold without any limitations.

During internal remeasurements slight deviations were found on just nine model variants of the Volkswagen brand. These model variants will be remeasured by a neutral technical service under the supervision of the appropriate authority by Christmas. None of these models has ever been imported to Singapore.

Volkswagen presented these results to the investigation commission of the Federal Government and the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA). The figure of approximately 800,000 vehicles under suspicion originally published by the Volkswagen Group has not been confirmed. The Group's subsidiaries Audi, Skoda and Seat have also agreed a similar procedure with the approval authorities responsible for the vehicles initially considered.
