Audi vows to be open on ‘dieselgate’

AUDI pledged full transparency as it continues to clean up after the “dieselgate” emissions fraud, but shareholders at the German luxury carmaker’s annual meeting yesterday again urged managers to reveal more about the scandal.

Ever since dieselgate broke in 2015, investors have called on Audi and Volkswagen to come clean about the emissions fraud and some say they are shocked the findings of an internal inquiry have still not been released.

Audi admitted in November 2015 that its 3.0-litre V6 diesel engines were fitted with a device deemed illegal in the United States that allowed cars to evade US emissions limits.
