California Air Resources Board will take more time to evaluate VW's proposed TDI solution

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) is extending a deadline to approve or reject Volkswagen's proposed fix for the EA 189 diesel-engined cars, Reuters reports. The agency pushed the deadline back to Jan. 14 to evaluate the solution which VW submitted on Nov. 20.
The extension by CARB came after the automaker provided "additional significant information and data" during the week of Dec. 14, the agency stated in a letter that was made public.
CARB and the EPA are expected to make an announcement in January regarding the solutions proposed by Volkswagen for some 482,000 cars equipped with EA 189 engines, with several different measures expected to be unveiled for different models. It is expected that some models will require hardware and software updates, while other may require only a software fix.
