Volkswagen AG says Germany’s transport agency, KBA, has approved repairs in Europe for another 140,000 of the company’s diesel engines that had been rigged to evade emission laws.
The powerplants are 2.0-liter members of VW’s EA189 family of 4-cylinder diesels. VW admits it used illegal engine control software in 11 million EA189 engines worldwide.
The new group of vehicles brings to 5.2 million the number of vehicles that have been cleared for repairs in Europe. VW estimates there is a total of 8.5 million affected diesels on the road in the region. The company hopes to fix most of them by the end of 2016.
