BERLIN (Reuters) - German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt said on Wednesday he had received a French report on emissions levels of Renault (RENA.PA) and other carmakers, and that it showed abnormalities similar to those in German investigations.

Carmakers have come under scrutiny by experts as part of a widening clampdown on health-threatening nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution levels in the wake of Volkswagen's (VOWG_p.DE) diesel emissions test cheating uncovered by U.S. authorities last September.
