AlHijjah 8, 1436, Sep 22, 2015, SPA -- A U.S senator on Tuesday asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate marketing claims of "clean" diesel engines made by Volkswagen AG, according to Reuters. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency along with the California Clean Air Board on Friday said VW rigged software in its small diesel cars to fool regulators checking amounts of toxic fumes the cars emitted. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, sent a letter to FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez asking the agency to explore remedies for car buyers who, he said, relied on VW's claims of having "clean diesel" cars. On Tuesday, VW in Germany admitted that it had used the same software in 11 million diesel engines worldwide. -- SPA 00:59 LOCAL TIME 21:59 GMT تغريد
