Volkswagen has had a turbulent year ever since environmental authorities in the US discovered the company has fitted its diesel cars with an emission cheating software.
A cross-party committee of 45 MEPs will spend 12 months examining how VW was able to rig emissions tests with so-called “defeat devices”. It will also look at whether the German car company was given political cover by the European Commission and national governments in the EU.
Volkswagen has made also list of non-governmental organisations’ “most hated” brands in the UK for the first time in 2015. It is now the seventh least popular brand in the world, according to a survey of more than 7,5000 NGOs by Sigwatch, a consultancy.
