ZURICH: Switzerland has banned the sale of diesel-engine cars of Volkswagen in the wake of the emissions rigging scandal that rocked the Europe’s biggest car maker.
The ban has been imposed on all the diesel-engine cars that contain software devices designed to cheat pollution controls tests.
It said the move could affect 180,000 cars – not yet sold or registered – in the Euro5 emission category.
This comes after VW, the biggest carmaker in the world, admitted cheating on emissions tests in the US.
