Switzerland has banned the sale of Volkswagen cars caught up in the emissions scandal. The government's ruling affects diesel models containing "defeat devices" – software able to change the engine's performance and run cleaner during official testing. As well as VW models which fall under the "euro 5" emissions category, other brands in the company's group, such as Seat and Skoda, are affected. However, the ban has been restricted to vehicles which are yet to be sold or registered, meaning Swiss motorists who currently own an affected car will not need to take action. New VW cars with "euro 6" engines are also immune from the ban, as they contain an updated emissions system.
