Volvo is not thinking of diesel car retrofits in Germany

Volvo is not thinking of any hardware retrofits for diesel vehicles in Germany, a company spokeswoman stated on Monday, rejecting a report by Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine that included that the Swedish automaker was mulling that option.

“They’re drawing the wrong conclusions,” the spokeswoman stated.

Volvo is following the discussion in Germany, she stated, including: “But (if) we’re going to look into how we’re going to help our customers then what we’d be looking at is incentives so that they can trade in for a new and cleaner car.”
