VW halts sales of Porsche diesel car
大众停止销售保时捷柴油汽车

Besides freezing sales of its diesel engine models in the US and Canada, VW's Porsche unit has also withdrawn its Cayenne diesel sport utility vehicles.

The move followed a new allegation from the U-S Environmental Protection Agency that Audi and Porsche cars with 3-litre diesel engines were equipped with illegal "defeat

devices".

The company had previously stated only its 2-liter diesel engines had such fraud devices, which cover up excessive emissions of poisonous gases when the vehicles undergo

pollution testing.

The new sales freeze affect VW Touaregs with diesel engines, alongside some of Audi's A series cars, and Q5 and Q7 models.
