Volkswagen Meeting With EPA's McCarthy On Diesel Emissions Ends After an Hour

摘要

Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Matthias Mueller met with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy for about an hour Jan. 13, as the German carmaker discussed revamped proposals to overcome a diesel emissions-cheating scandal. Mueller pulled out from the EPA courtyard in a black Audi sedan without commenting on the meeting. The company issued a short statement acknowledging that Mueller and VW brand chief Herbert Diess had met with McCarthy. "Volkswagen will continue to fully cooperate" with regulators, the company said in a statement. Julia Valentine, a spokeswoman for the EPA, had no immediate comment. The meeting came a day after the California Air Resources Board rejected the company's initial proposed engine fix.
