Volkswagen CEO apologizes for cheating on US auto emissions tests

[chronicle]

What are they trying to achieve here? Sayang ang brand image nila.

I guess they couldn't keep up with the emission standards, hence, took to software to do it.

They actually were able to keep up with the emissions standards. It's just that, they chose to relax their emissions system after the test to probably boost fuel economy and/or increase performance.

If I would venture a guess, I'd say that they're likely disabling or reducing the function of the EGR system once the test has been concluded. The reduction of NOx gases is one of the main goals of the EGR, at the expense of a slight reduction to mid-end power, and then some.

Bagsak ang stock nila sa US markets. Does not reflect well at all at their products. And to think taga pa ang prices ng mga kotse nila.

Kailangang ba nilang mag cheat dito?

Wala namang kuwenta emission testing sa atin

Kaya marami nag-egr blanking dito e

Ang tindi ng fine. $37,500 per vehicle. 1.6m peso per vehicle. Wala nang tinubo. O baka abonado pa

Benta na lang dito sa 'Pinas at a big discount yung mga models na di puwede ibenta sa US. VW's chief local executive did say that our local diesel is a better fit for their TDI engines compared to the local gasoline. No need for the cheating software. hehehehe

Laki ng multa! Mas mahal pa ata sa US retail value ng Golf, Jetta, at Passat with the 2.0L TDI engine.

Yes, you are right.

[bloowolf]

The fines can reach $37,500 per vehicle and your talking about 500,000 in the US alone. Repair for the cars will be at VW's expense.

[LancerA174A]

Hmm. If it's as simple as software removal they can get away with almost half of the cars para mabawasan fine nila.

Reminds me of Samsung and HTC yata yung nahuling nag ooverclock ng CPU pag nadedetect benchmarking apps.

[bloowolf]

It raises questions about their credibility. How can they ever claim from here on that their cars are clean cars. Di nansila pwede magyabang.

With cars nowadays being run by software, this type of cheating can easily be done without changing or altering a single physical component. VW may well be just the tip of the iceberg. Other companies may also have been doing something similar at one lever or another.

Babawian sila ng mga Kano....

Sa Europe,- sobrang higpit nila sa mga US products e....

Interesting to see what EU will do on the VW issue....

They did that with their diesel vehicles. Not all VW vehicles are affected. It's probably an industry practice.

[EQAddict]

Basically dont buy anything from audi/volks with a 2.0 tdi engine. Poor tiguan, audi a4 and soon to be launched passat owners.

Oh i forgot, we dont really have strict emission laws here.

[StockEngine]

Burn..... 😂😂😂

Pasado malamang ang mga classic Beetles sa emissions test....
