The former employee claimed he was fired for trying to stop a colleague from deleting data.

Volkswagen passenger car global sales fell nearly 5 percent in February, with a sharp 13 percent drop in the U.S., as it continues to suffer the fallout from its emissions scandal.

Michael Horn, the head of the German automaker’s U.S. operations, is leaving amid “difficult times” for the company.

Meanwhile, the automaker's emissions scandal will inflict “substantial and painful” financial damage, CEO Matthias Mueller said.

Both Hans Dieter Poetsch and Matthias Mueller reportedly were alerted about the illicit emissions-control software Sept. 8, well before VW’s biggest-ever scandal became public Sept. 18.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer set a March 24 deadline for the carmaker to state whether it has found a fix that is acceptable to U.S. regulators.

As Volkswagen’s biggest profit center, Audi’s earnings are seen as an early indicator of the fortunes of the world’s second largest car maker.

Volkswagen said a memo was sent to former CEO Martin Winterkorn in May 2014 about a study by U.S. researchers that raised questions about VW diesel emissions.

Matthias Müller said he is confident of an agreement with U.S. regulators on a fix for diesel cars, vehicle buybacks and fines over its emissions scandal.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reportedly wants the German automaker to produce electric vehicles at its plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The faulty air bags have been linked to 11 deaths and about 100 injuries, of which eight fatalities have occurred in the U.S.

The German carmaker admitted in September to manipulating a line of diesel engines to cheat official emissions tests.

A high-ranking employee issued the warning long before the carbon emissions scandal began swirling around the German automaker in September.

One way to carry out the random tests would be to select models from car rental companies, the newspaper said. Technicians who carry out the tests would be rotated to ensure transparency.

The country may carry out unannounced emissions tests on cars, similar to randomized drug testing in athletes, Germany's transport minister said.

Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen increase the number of automakers and brands affected by history’s most complicated auto safety recall.

Unlike most of Volkswagen’s passenger-car brands, the trucks unit was not hit directly by the fallout from the ongoing diesel-emissions scandal.

The German automaker’s decision to delay key investor events for four to eight weeks underscores the extent of damage caused by the diesel emissions scandal.

The German automaker, paying the price for its emissions-cheating scandal, saw sales in Britain dip for a fourth consecutive month.

The scandal-plagued German automaker has submitted a plan to fix 80,000 recalled diesel-powered SUVs and sedans that emit up to nine times the legally allowable amount of pollution, California and federal environmental officials say.
