Volkswagen to halt U.S. sales of some 2015 diesel cars
FRANKFURT/HAMBURG (Reuters) – Volkswagen told U.S. dealers to halt sales of some 2015 diesel cars after regulators found software it designed for the affected vehicles gave false emissions data, the company said Sunday, announcing it had launched an investigation. In a statement published by the carmaker on Sunday, Chief Executive Officer Martin Winterkorn said, “I personally am deeply sorry that we have broken the trust of our customers. “Volkswagen has ordered an external investigation of this matter,” he said.
