Washington
VOLKSWAGEN has agreed to pay US$10.2 billion to settle its US emissions scandal case, according to the Associated Press, citing two people briefed on the matter, in what would be one of the largest payouts by a carmaker in history.
The case stems from the carmaker's 2015 admission that 11 million vehicles worldwide had cheating software designed to get around emissions tests. The settlement will compensate owners of 482,000 vehicles with two-litre diesel engines that were programmed to turn off emissions measurement data outside of laboratory settings.
