MUNICH — Volkswagen Group added another twist to the controversy over diesel-emissions cheating, apologizing for a test that exposed monkeys to engine fumes to study effects of the exhaust.

The study, conducted by a research and lobby group set up by VW, Daimler, BMW and Robert Bosch, was a mistake, VW said.

The New York Times reported on Friday about a 2014 trial in a U.S. laboratory in which 10 monkeys inhaled diesel emissions from a VW Beetle.
