Volkswagen AG’s chief executive officer will meet with the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency next week as the company and agency negotiate a vehicle recall to resolve the diesel crisis weighing on Europe’s largest automaker.
Matthias Mueller’s meeting with EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy was requested by the company, which admitted in September that it rigged the software of 482,000 diesel cars beginning in 2009 to pass U.S. emissions tests. When not being tested, the cars released pollution well in excess of permitted levels.
