VW CEO resigns over emissions tests | News Article

Volkswagen chief executive Martin Winterkorn has resigned over the manipulation of US diesel car emissions tests. In a statement he said he was "shocked by the events of the past few days".

He said he is resigning in the interest of the company even though he is not aware of any wrong doing on his part.

Volkswagen, the world's biggest carmaker, has admitted it deceived US regulators in exhaust emissions tests by installing a device to give more positive results.

It has already said that 11 million vehicles worldwide are involved and it is setting aside £4.7 billion to cover costs of the scandal.
