South Korea plans to revoke the certification of almost half of the models sold by Volkswagen and Audi in the country as an investigation into the automaker’s emissions tests widens.
The Ministry of Environment said it will hold a public hearing on the German automaker on July 22, after receiving a request from prosecutors to ban the sale of 18 diesel and 14 gasoline models by the group’s Volkswagen, Audi and Bentley brands.
