The Volkswagen Group’s share prices may have finally started increasing, but its effect is still reverberating as the company struggles to restore the faith of both governments and its consumers worldwide in its products. Audi, VW’s luxury brand, has now suspended two engineers after its larger diesel engines were found evading emissions limits in the United States. Audi chief executive Rupert Stadler confirmed the suspensions in an interview with German newspaper Donaukurier.
Audi is now investigating whether employees in the business's technical department, and elsewhere, deliberately manipulated the emission control devices. The Audi suspensions take the number of officials confirmed to have been put on leave across the VW group as a result of its internal investigations to eight, including at least six senior individuals.
Audi has said it failed to notify authorities in the United States of three so-called auxiliary emissions control devices (AECD) in luxury models, one of which is classified there as a banned "defeat device." The admission from Audi, which contributes about 40 percent to VW group profit, is raising pressure on Stadler, a 25-year VW group veteran who has led Audi for nine years.
Earlier this week, Volkswagen CEO Matthias Müller told managers that the German auto watchdog KBA had approved its plans to fix the problems with its smaller diesel engines in a way that will only cost tens of millions of euros, rather than the €6.7 billion it set aside initially to cover the damage. The company’s shares have recovered to their highest level since the scandal broke in September, but are still down over 22% from before the scandal.
