Germany Meets With Automakers After Suspicious NOx Levels Found With Other Brands Diesel Models

Germany's diesel pollution probe in the wake of the Volkswagen cheating scandal has found signs of elevated emissions in some cars, authorities said.

Regulators and carmakers are in talks about "partly elevated levels of nitrogen oxides" found in raw data from some of the cars in the probe, the Germany's motor transport authority (KBA) said.

The KBA said it is running tests on more than 50 car models of 23 German and foreign auto brands on suspicion of manipulation of NOx emissions from diesel engines.

The KBA is about two-thirds finished with the tests. The authority didn't provide a time frame for the final results from its review, which includes cars from Volkswagen Group's Audi, VW and Porsche brands, as well as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot and others.
