  • 8 years ago
Volkswagen CEO Matthias Mueller will meet with the top U.S. environmental regulator on Wednesday, marking the highest-level talks since the German automaker admitted to using software to evade emissions requirements in 580,000 U.S. vehicles.
Mueller will meet with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chief Gina McCarthy on Wednesday in Washington, agency spokeswoman Laura Allen said Thursday.
The meeting comes a week after the U.S. Justice Department filed a civil suit against VW seeking up to $48 billion in damages under the Clean Air Act.
