A meeting of Volkswagen executives revealed Thursday that the internal investigation into how the company produced 11 million cars with illegal "defeat devices" to cheat emissions tests will take several months, Reuters (via Automotive News) reported.
The supervisory board said in light of the ongoing investigation, the automaker would push back its scheduled meeting in November, where it was expected to name Hans Dieter Pötsch as chairman.
"In view of the time available and the matters to be considered, it would not be realistic to provide well-founded answers which would fulfill the shareholder's justified expectations," it said according to Reuters, adding a court would appoint Poetsch to the board, after which he would be elected chairman.
The board said it would notify the public next week of any possible fixes engineers have developed for its cars. VW's Czech Skoda Auto notified authorities there that a fix would take until the end of October for its 148,000 cars in that country.
German's transportation authority gave Volkswagen until Oct. 7 to propose a solution for its cars or face a ban from German roads.
