WASHINGTON - German automaker Volkswagen and US environmental regulators have reached an agreement on the diesel-powered 3.0 liter cars also involved in the company's emissions scandal, according to a news report Tuesday. Volkswagen last month concluded a record-setting $15 billion settlement concerning 2.0 liter diesel cars. However, this latest agreement with the US Environmental Protection Agency and California's Air Resources Board does not resolve legal actions brought by owners of 3.0 liter cars or by the Federal Trade Commission, according to the report. Elizabeth Cabraser, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs, emphasized that there had been no agreement involving owners and lessees of the affected 3.0-liter cars. Any agreement would have to give consumers the same benefits offered in October's 2.0-liter class action settlement, including the choice between buyback and repair, Cabraser said.
