French daily Le Monde, citing a report by France's competition and consumer affairs anti-fraud agency DGCCRF, said carmaker PSA, owner of Peugeot and Citroën, has been found to have equipped its diesel engines on up to 1.9 million vehicles with so-called defeat devices that would reduce the level of nitrogen oxide emissions during testing.
Press reports in Germany said French carmaker PSA, which is to buy up General Motors' European arm producing Opel- and Vauxhall-badged vehicles, has told the German government that all four Opel factories in the country would continue to operate, while PSA's chief executive is to meet British Prime Minister Theresa May over the future of Vauxhaull's plants.
