Audi to present software upgrade for A6/A7 models shortly

Volkswagen`s premium carmaker Audi will shortly present to Germany`s motor authority KBA a software upgrade for the additional 60,000 cars in which emissions-related problems have been discovered, Audi`s chief executive said.

Audi is in "close consultation with the authorities", Rupert Stadler told shareholders at the company`s annual general meeting on Wednesday, according to a prepared speech text.

The carmaker had said on Tuesday it had stopped deliveries of A6 and A7 models with a certain type of diesel engine after finding a previously unidentified problem with emissions software. It did not give details of the problem.

Stadler also reiterated that it would take a while for the diesel emissions crisis to be ultimately resolved.
