Audi apologises for Dieselgate scandal, says it will “never happen again”

Audi chairman Bram Schot has publicly apologised for the company’s involvement in the “dieselgate” scandal that saw 11 million Volkswagen and Audi cars caught out cheating emissions regulations in the US and Europe – and has vowed that it will never happen again. It is the first time senior Audi management have emphatically apologised for the actions that saw certain models in its diesel range pass strict laboratory tests but belch out much higher emissions in real-world driving conditions.
