Volkswagen AG’s Audi unit says it is eliminating the team it set up two years ago to investigate its role in VW’s diesel emission cheating scandal.
Audi CEO Rupert Stadler tells reporters the task force, which was led by procurement director Bernd Martens, will be dissolved in the first quarter of 2018. By then, he says, the group will have documented and processed all engine and transmission combinations involved in the cheating.
Declaring that Audi is “emerging from the crisis mode,” Stadler says the unit is returning to normal operations. He says the investigative team’s duties will be turned over to Audi’s product safety committee.
Stadler estimates that Audi has retrofitted about 80% of 850,000 of the V-6 diesels included in the 11 million engines that VW admits it rigged to evade emission tests.
