Volkswagen was ‘previously warned’ about emissions
Volkswagen was warned years ago about the use of illegal tricks to defeat emissions tests, according to reports in the German media.
The German car maker admitted last week that it used special software to fool US emissions tests for its diesel vehicles. Some 11 million VW diesel cars built since 2008 are affected by the scandal.
German weekly Bild am Sonntag reported that VW’s internal investigation has found a 2007 letter from parts supplier Bosch warning Volkswagen not to use the software during regular operation.
