On Tuesday, the German car maker stated some 800,000 cars sold in Europe with petrol engines also had understated levels of carbon dioxide emissions and were more expensive to drive for buyers.
Germany will test all its current vehicles, including the VW, Audi, Skoda and Seat models, with both diesel and petrol engines for two types of emissions, the Sky News reported Wednesday.
The company announced it would set aside additional $2.2 billion over previous $7 billion to mitigate the effects of the scandal.
