VW diesel compensation is on track in US but not elsewhere
It has been a year and a half since the diesel emissions scandal at the German carmaker Volkswagen first came to light.
Since then, the company has agreed to pay substantial compensation to people in the US who bought cars equipped with illegal software, capable of disguising their true emissions levels.
But Volkswagen has not yet made any payments to buyers in the UK or elsewhere in Europe, even though millions of cars sold in the region were also fitted with similar software.
Nor does it have any plans to do so.
However, efforts are now being made to force the company to change its mind, orchestrated by the European Commission. The Department for Transport has been involved in the discussions.
