VW scandal threatens all diesels in US

Last fall, automotive supplier Bosch said light-duty diesel vehicle demand would remain strong despite the then-nascent Volkswagen diesel-emissions scandal. Fellow supplier Continentalbegs to differ. The company, which made its bones in the tire industry but has since expanded its scope, says diesel demand in regions such as North America, China and Japan may shrink substantially, Reuters says, citing comments Continental executive Elmar Degenhart made to German publication Börsen-Zeitung last week.
