A German newspaper has reported that the emission-cutting software used by VW was created by Audi.
The newspaper Handelsblatt claims that Audi created the device back in 1999 but it was never used until VW was unable to bring nitrogen oxide emissions below legal thresholds for certain diesel engines.
It stresses that the software was never used by Audi.
Both VW and Audi declined to comment, Handelsblatt reports.
