Wolfsburg (dpa) - Volkswagen is offering owners of California series mobile homes with older diesel engines subsidies for retrofitting if additional exhaust gas catalytic converters are available.
It is about T5 variants of the light VW commercial vehicles in the motorhome equipment that are still on the road with Euro 5 drive.
In Germany, these are currently around 22,000 copies from the years 2009 to 2015, said a company spokesman on Thursday in Wolfsburg.
Such vehicles can be registered as passenger cars, but for tax reasons they are often registered as "special motorhome".
So far, after the diesel crisis, VW has participated in the federal government's corresponding program in providing financial support for retrofitting cars. Owners had to live in or in the immediate vicinity of “intensive cities” with poor air quality.

"If the technical possibility arises, we will do the same for mobile homes," it said.
The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" had previously reported on it.
According to Volkswagen, customers could expect up to 3000 euros here as well.
Solutions are currently being developed for the use of a so-called SCR catalytic converter with urea injection in the T5 models in question, explained VW.
These systems reduce the level of harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the exhaust gas jet.
