Volkswagen AG will propose to US authorities a new catalytic converter system that could be fitted to about 430,000 cars capable of cheating diesel emissions tests, chief executive Matthias Mueller said on Sunday.
“We have one (catalytic converter) in the works and we believe that will be a part of the technical solutions,” Mueller told reporters at a VW event on the eve of the Detroit auto show.
Asked whether he expects the new catalytic converter to bring 430,000 rigged US cars into line with emissions standards, the CEO replied: “Yes, we believe that this is possible.”
Mueller is meeting US Environmental Protection Agency administrator Gina McCarthy on Wednesday, where he plans to make his proposal.
