FRANKFURT: Volkswagen AG’s namesake brand and its upscale sister marque Audi are offering as much as 10,000 euros (US$11,800) per car in incentives in Germany to trade in older diesel models for new ones that spew out fewer emissions as political pressure to fight pollution intensifies ahead of general elections.

The incentives depend on which model is purchased and the offer is open for owners of cars from rival manufacturers, VW and Audi said in emailed statements yesterday.
