Volkswagen (Page 20)

With all of the security threats around the world, it makes sense to team with the best in prevention. VW has done just that by working in partnership with a former head of the country's Shin Bet spy service. The partnership is aimed at preventing vehicle hacking.

An engineer for Volkswagen pleaded guilty late last week to Dieselgate-related chargers that were contained in a sealed indictment. His story could help federal probers to wrap up Dieselgate late this year.

Well, let’s get that out of the way first. Skoda is pronounced Shkoda, but I’m sure Americans will simply drop the “sh” and go with the "s."

Volkswagen and Jianghaui Automobiles have announced a preliminary plan that would give VW another electric vehicle partner in China.

With the acquisition of 16.6 percent of Navistar International, Volkswagen has gained a foothold in a major North American diesel market, something it had sought before the entangling Dieselgate affair.

Volkswagen's Dieselgate troubles may just have become a little worse today as the European Commission said the automaker may have violated the laws in 20 nations.

Skoda wants, probably more than anything else right now, to crack the U.S. market. They had planned to use the new Kodiaq, just introduced. It is a three-row, full-size SUV that should do well. The only fly in the ointment is a rather large one, Volkswagen, its parent. The automaker plans to introduce their own version of the same SUV in the U.S. Guess which vehicle will be sold here, at least, first, not the Skoda.

As pressure grows in the U.K. to get firmer timeframes on Dieselgate decisions, class-action suits are occurring all over. Are they delaying a return to normal for VW?

More than 200,000 VW owners have opted for the Dieselgate buyback program, surprising some legal authorities with the speed with which it happened, about a month or a little more.

A group of auto spies recently reported a sighting of the 2018 Volkswagen CC. The CC is based on the MQB platform, used by Passat, and is helping to extend VW's plans for the expansion of the architecture.

Following marathon talks between Volkswagen and representatives of suppliers, the automaker was able to start ramping up production again.

VW Australia may have a new SUV in development that may just be heading for the U.S. -- maybe. The one fly in the ointment, the engine.

Volkswagen plans two short production outages this year. According to the automaker, the stoppages in the production of the Golf are to help balance production.

Far from being a silent partner, Robert Bosch actively participated and "profited handsomely" from its Dieselgate scandal involvement.

Why is Volkswagen the way it seems to be? First, it became involved in its self-inflicted emissions cheating scandal and now it's hackable lock keyfobs.

Prosecutors, approaching a major milestone in the Dieselgate emissions scandal, have found criminal liability in the action. They are now weighing the type of sanctions that may be used.

Volkswagen and Justice officials are discussing details of a settlement in the Dieselgate emissions scandal. Initial reports say it could exceed a record $1.2 billion.

Volkswagen is pushing ahead with a diesel repair program to fix emissions problems, while U.S. owners are still waiting.

Bet you never thought Pikachu was a nefarious corporate spy, looking for the latest in auto information from VW, did you? VW does and has banned it.

The class-action lawsuit phase of the Dieselgate emissions scandal begins to wind down as lawyers file requests for up to $332.5 million, which is quite a bit less than they could have sought.

Twenty-eight electric vehicle firms have contacted regulators to ensure that VW is barred from participating in Dieselgate settlement funding.

Volkswagen, slammed for the last year by an emissions scandal of its own making, faced a new test as the courts in Germany took an unusual step in an effort to speed things up. That does not look like it will be the case.

Volkswagen's strategy to be a leader in 'clean diesel" suffered a severe blow with Dieselgate, resulting a class-action suit and settlement in process, but the company has a new plan looking to the future with its award winning BUDD-e electric car concept.

Like a never-ending story, the Volkswagen diesel emission scandal keeps on going. And, just when you think there’s finally a conclusion and settlement compensation in horizon, it all unravels and starts up again. For example, for the longest time, the assumption has been - among observers - that VW used one piece of code (computer software) to enable its vehicles to pass U.S. emissions standards.

As the clock winds down to final approval of the VW Dieselgate class-action lawsuit settlement, Consumer Reports (CR) has weighed in on the seeking a change in the manner in which buyback cash is determined.

The speculation of Skoda possibly entering the U.S. marketplace is intensifying.

It has been a month since the announcement of Volkswagen and the U.S. Government coming to a $14.7 billion settlement over the illegal software used on the 2.0L TDI engine. But Volkswagen hasn't been able to go forward with it as they were waiting for approval from the judge overseeing the case.

Earlier this week, three U.S. states - Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York - filed civil suits against Volkswagen over the diesel emission scandal. The suits paint a picture of a company desperate to meet standards and relying on an illegal device to do it.

It seemed that a possible fix was on the way for the Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models featuring the 3.0L TDI V6 that were deemed to have illegal emission software. Unfortunately, that fix has been rejected.
