A former Volkswagen manager, who is on trial over the car maker’s emissions-cheating scandal, blamed company culture on Thursday for his and others’ silence on the matter, but said he would have acted differently had he known the consequences.
Hanno Jelden, who prosecutors said was in charge of the development of the illegal software at the heart of the scheme, attributed the long silence over the software malfunction in part to Volkswagen’s company culture, which he described as one where problems were to be solved quickly rather than analysed.
