DieselGate -ETCG1
Volkswagens’ “DieselGate” is one for the record books. I’m not sure where this one will end up, but it’s not going to be good for VW, and it shouldn’t. It’s one thing to be negligent, it’s quite another to game the system. That’s exactly what VW did with their ‘clean diesel’ vehicles sold in the US. Although I think it’s worth pointing out that this could go well beyond the US. That’s when things will get really interesting.
The gist is that VW deliberately altered their diesel vehicles sold in the US to alter their performance, and therefore emissions, when being tested for emissions. Yep, that really happened. VW has even admitted to this wrongdoing.
I’m sure we’ll have plenty to talk about on this one so I’ll just get to the links.
