30. VOLKSWAGEN EMISSIONS
SCANDAL
• On 18 September 2015, the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) issued a notice of violation of
the Clean Air Act to German automaker Volkswagen Group,
after it was found that the automaker had intentionally
programmed turbocharged direct injection (TDI) diesel
engines to activate certain emissions controls only during
laboratory emissions testing.
• The programming caused the vehicles' nitrogen
oxide (NOx) output to meet US standards during regulatory
testing, but emit up to 40 times more NOxin real-world
driving.
• Volkswagen put this programming in about eleven million
cars worldwide, and in 500,000 in the United States,
during model years 2009 through 2015.
31. VOLKSWAGEN EMISSION
SCANDAL
• These findings stemmed from a study on emissions
discrepancies between European and US models of
vehicles commissioned in 2014 by the International
Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), summing up
the data from three different sources on 15 vehicles.
• Among the research groups was a group of five
scientists at West Virginia University, who detected
additional emissions during live road tests on two out
of three diesel cars.
• ICCT also purchased data from two other sources. They
provided their findings to the California Air Resources
Board (CARB) in May 2014.
32. OTHER IRREGULARITIES
• On 3 November 2015, VW revealed that its internal investigation found
that CO2 emissions and fuel consumption figures were also affected by
"irregularities".
• These new issues involve mainly diesel, but also some petrol models,
affecting approximately 800,000 vehicles equipped with 1.4, 1.6 and
2.0 litre motors from VW, Skoda, Audi and Seat.
• The company suggested that fixing the problem might cost an
additional €2bn.
• On 20 November 2015, the EPA said that VW officials told the agency
that all 3.0-liter TDI diesel engines sold in the US from 2009 through
2015 were also fitted with emissions-cheating software, in the form of
"alternate exhaust control devices".
• These are prohibited in the United States, however the software is legal
in Europe.
