WOLFSBURG: Volkswagen AG said 430,000 of its new cars had “implausible” carbon dioxide (CO2) ratings as it continues talks with regulators in an attempt to address the emissions cheating crisis.

The figure means more than half of the roughly 800,000 affected vehicles were from the current 2016 model year. Volkswagen was still investigating previous model years and what the correct CO2 ratings should be, the Wolfsburg, Germany-based company said in a statement on Friday.
