Volkswagen will present another model of the I.D. family next month in Detroit.

As Volkswagen tries to recover from its diesel emissions scandal, it has created a new company called Moia to focus on building self-driving cars.

Charging stations for electric cars are to be added across major highways in Europe, beginning in 2017.

Tesla could find a notable competitor in Porsche's upcoming fully electric car, the Mission E.

The launch of the series, named E-Tron, is in line with the company’s plan to introduce three electric cars by 2020.

Among the winners are Volkswagen for chemistry, a study asking liars about lying for psychology, and two men who spent time living as animals for biology.

Volkswagen's upcoming all-electric car can travel 300 miles on just one 15-minute charge.

The move comes as the automaker has struggled with a sales slump in the country after it admitted to using software to cheat on emissions tests on some diesel cars.

After a historic $15 billion settlement to resolve its emissions scandal in the U.S., the company’s CEO has rejected calls for a similar move in Europe.

CEO Oliver Blume expects sales to increase by a third, as the redesigned model of the Panamera sedan hits European showrooms in November.

Individuals should be investigated in connection with the German automaker’s emissions scandal, the top U.S. law enforcement official said.

The settlement includes $10 billion to offer buybacks to owners of polluting vehicles and nearly $5 billion to offset excess diesel emissions and boost zero emission vehicles, a source said.

EU Industry Commissioner Elzbieta Bienkowska told a German daily Sunday the automaker should compensate its European customers the same way it would pay its U.S. car buyers.

Nearly 500,000 vehicle owners were affected by the German automaker's efforts to evade U.S. anti-pollution standards.

The German automaker is still dealing with the aftermath of its emissions cheating scandal that led to a 40 percent drop in its share price.

“At the same time that Volkswagen was deceiving U.S. investors and regulators with its rigged emissions systems, it was raising billions of dollars from investors,” a lawyer says.

But the precise number of models to be discontinued has yet to be decided, a Volkswagen spokesman said.

The German automaker, still reeling under the effects of last year’s massive emissions scandal, reported lower-than-expected earnings.

The German automaker joins others from the industry, such as General Motors and Toyota, which have invested in app-based ride-hailing services.

Still facing fallout over its emissions cheating fraud, the German auto giant says it negotiated a deal with a major labor union.

The $850 billion oil fund is expected to join class-action lawsuits filed against Volkswagen in German courts.
