Toyota said it expects to retain its crown as the world’s top-selling carmaker next year, keeping it ahead of scandal-hit rival Volkswagen.

The firm later announced plans to refit 11 million cars affected and last month its share of the European car market fell to 24.3% from 26.6% in November 2014.
