More bad news, diesel owners: Volkswagen will not be making an announcement on Friday about how it intends to fix its emissions-cheating diesel cars.
On Sept. 18, California Air Resources Board (CARB) sent a letter to Volkswagen, setting a Nov. 20 deadline for presenting a diesel fix plan.
Although an Environmental Protection Agency representative told Mashable that Volkswagen had presented its proposal to the agency, which officials plan to review, a Volkswagen of America representative told Mashable that VW officials had a meeting today about the topic but will not be making an announcement. Instead, it will simply wait and see if the EPA or CARB says anything.
When asked whether VW had a date for when it will publicly present a plan, the representative simply replied, "no."
Likely complicating VW's potential plans was the company's admission to the EPA on Thursday that not just its smaller 2.0-liter diesel engines -- but also its larger 3.0-liter diesel models -- included emissions-cheating software.
Until a plan materializes publicly, owners will have to make do with the $1,000 "goodwill" pre-paid gift cards.
