As the Diesel Emits: Volkswagen Still Hasn't Ask EPA For Approval To Sell TDI Models

  • In not so surprising news, Volkswagen hasn't asked the EPA if they can sell TDI vehicles again

If you're wondering when Volkswagen will resume sales of diesel vehicles in the U.S., you're going to have to wait a bit longer. Automotive News has learned that the German automaker hasn't applied for the necessary EPA approvals to start selling diesel vehicles in the U.S.

 

"They need to address our concerns" before sales can resume, an EPA official said.

 

Those concerns most likely relate to Volkswagen coming up with a fix that meets the standards of the EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB). As we have reported previously, Volkswagen might not be able to fully fix some of the TDI vehicles.

Me think this is the death of TDI in the US. I bet they move forward going hybrid and all ev as they focus to get their dealerships selling again.
