Volkswagen AG was given four more weeks to reach an agreement with regulators for getting 600,000 diesel vehicles off U.S. roads as it faces hundreds of lawsuits for rigging pollution control systems to cheat emissions tests.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco, who said at a hearing Thursday that “substantial progress” has been made, set an April 21 deadline for the carmaker to come up with a concrete and detailed proposal. Breyer also remarked that the company faces engineering difficulties in finding a solution.
