Wolfsburg, Germany

VOLKSWAGEN hopes to reach a final settlement with the US authorities over the diesel emissions scandal next month so that it can get moving on a recovery plan which will see the launch of several new crossover and electric vehicles, its sales chief said on Thursday.

VW aims to expand its electric vehicle offerings in the US to meet a growing demand for green cars and help restore its image, VW brand sales chief Juergen Stackmann said in an interview published on Thursday.
