Dutch VW Dealers Halt Sale of Diesel Cars
Dutch Volkswagen dealers are halting the sale of diesel cars that may be affected by the German automaker's emissions-rigging scandal.
Pon, the Dutch importer of Volkswagens, Audis, SEATs and Skodas, says in a statement that the temporary sales halt applies to 4,100 cars that its dealers still have in stock.
The company said Monday the decision comes "in anticipation of full clarity from the manufacturer Volkswagen AG about a solution to the problems with these engines."
Pon says the cars affected all have "Euro 5 diesel engines of the type EA189."
Volkswagen said last week that 11 million vehicles worldwide contain software involved in the emissions-rigging scandal, and later added that 5 million of those were cars were produced by its core VW brand. The group hasn't yet given a full listing of what cars were involved.
