Germany's transport ministry says Volkswagen AG cheated on emission tests covering about 2.8 million vehicles in the country.
The total is almost six times the number of vehicles involved in rigged test results in the U.S. Earlier this week VW estimated it equipped 11 million vehicles worldwide with software switched off certain emission control under normal driving conditions.
