Volkswagen AG Chief Executive Officer Matthias Mueller said he’s committed to keeping the company’s 12 brands, suggesting the carmaker has the financial means to pull itself out of a nearly three-month-long pollution cheating crisis without selling assets.
Mueller, speaking in his first television interview since the scandal broke in late September, said tips from about 100 whistle-blowers didn’t open any new fronts in the investigation. The CEO said he hopes to reach a deal with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency within weeks and make his first official visit in January to the U.S., where Volkswagen’s emissions cheating first emerged.
