Volkswagen’s diesel scandal costs hit $33 billion with new Audi penalty
|London (CNN Business)Volkswagen is once again counting the cost of cheating on diesel engine emissions tests.
The German carmaker said Tuesday that it had been hit with a new fine relating to failings at its Audi subsidiary, sending the total cost of the scandal to nearly $33 billion.
Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to cheating on clean air rules with software that made emissions look less toxic than they actually were.
