US -VW cheating in the testing of vehicle emissions testing in the United States. It could have an impact on the recall of millions of cars VW worldwide. How the case could be revealed?
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pointed out that the exhaust emissions of diesel cars of the VW and Audi did not meet emissions regulations in the United States.
VW and Audi uses a software that makes the vehicle look cleaner emissions when tested compared to when the car drove on public roads.
EPA found the software that controls the engine so that when testing diesel-engined car emissions VW pass.
Actually, this issue has been circulating a long time, the US Environmental Protection Agency recently released to the public on 18 September.
A figure whose role in disclosure 'diesel gate' is an engineer Daniel Carder's 45-year-old comes from West Virginia University (WVU). He led the initial studies that have produced evidence of fraud VW in vehicle emissions test.
Daniel and his team that got the attention of the non-profit organization the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) in late 2013. They were then asked to do more exhaustive research about the VW car emissions.
ICCT interested to analyze emissions from cars VW after EU research center shows the difference between the results of testing in the laboratory and the results of testing on the streets. Unofficial reports indicate the EU and the German government has been aware of this scandal, but they did not take any action. VW also tested a BMW, but the results are not too much different.
Cars were tested, among others VW Jetta Passat models 2012 and 2013. Both were tested in the streets and the results are very much different from when the car officially tested in the laboratory.
WVU find one of the cars have 15-35 times the emissions from specified emission limits. Other car models 10-20 times the limit.
"The figure is very high pollution," said Carder.
Volkswagen finally recognizes this and they were threatened with fines and possibly prosecuted. VW boss also takes full responsibility and resigned after the issue becomes breaking news.
