Volkswagen AG developed four variants of the engine control software it used to cheat diesel emission tests, sources tell Reuters.
The various versions were used to alter the performance of four engine types, according to Reuters. The news service cites a VW manager and U.S. official, both of them close to continuing investigations into the cheating.
VW, which so far has suggested the cheating was the work of a small group, has declined comment. But outsiders tell Reuters the existence of multiple versions of the cheater software suggests the deception involved a wide range of employees. Experts say evidence of a broad conspiracy would result in tougher penalties for VW.
VW acknowledged last month that cheater software was installed in 11 million of its diesels worldwide, but it has not elaborated.
