Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority has ordered Volkswagen Group to provide by Oct. 7 a "binding" plan to fix some 2.8 million diesel-powered vehicles that were sold in Germany with software that could be used to cheat on emission tests.
The demand is to provide a technical solution and a timetable for implementing it, according to Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt. VW tells Bloomberg News it will present such a plan in time to meet the deadline.
Last week VW revealed it had installed the offending software in about 11 million diesel vehicles sold worldwide. Reports say the software was not activated in some of the vehicles.
