VOLKSWAGEN AG (VW) and the California Air Resources Board (Carb) will begin testing hardware and software that could help the German carmaker avoid buying back as many as 475,000 diesel cars sold in the United States with improperly designed pollution controls, the head of the board said.
Carb chair Mary Nichols said that the agency is working with the German carmaker to test potential fixes for three generations of Volkswagen cars equipped with 2.0-litre diesel engines and pollution control systems improperly designed to operate only during government pollution control tests.
