VW eyes transportation deals to boost self-driving car plans


Flawed cars: The model 60 and 70 series cars owners were told to take their vehicles to dealers to correct software faults.

FRANKFURT: Volkswagen is planning further acquisitions in the market for new transportation technologies and services, a leading manager at the German carmaker said, as it seeks to make up ground after its emissions scandal. 

Europe's largest automaker, which had been reluctant to commit to new industry trends like car sharing, is also looking for more alliances with technology firms as it tries to capture new business post-Dieselgate, Volkswagen (VW) digital chief Johann Jungwirth said.
