London mayor Sadiq Khan demands compensation over 'dieselgate'

The Mayor of London is demanding that Volkswagen pays £2.5m of "lost" Congestion Charge revenue after the "dieselgate" emissions scandal. It emerged last year that VW had been fitting software that enabled vehicles to detect when they were being tested, reducing emissions measured in the laboratory. It is estimated that 80,000 VWs registered in London were fitted with the so-called "defeat device", which hid the true level of emissions.
