Alexander Dobrindt, Germany’s transportation minister, tells reporters in the U.S. he doesn’t believe Volkswagen AG’s diesel test cheating scandal will inflict long-term damage to the company’s reputation.
Dobrindt repeatedly referred to the technical aspects of bringing VW’s rigged diesels into compliance with American emission standards. He pointed out the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is focused on the same issue.
But Dobrindt did not comment on VW’s difficult challenge of rebuilding trust among its customers. Critics say the company has been slow to acknowledge its wrong-doing directly to consumers or indicate what steps it plans to take to avoid future deceptions.
