Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. have said they are hoping for approval for their proposed “software updates fix” for 104,000 of their diesel vehicles already on the road with emissions level manipulating software installed.
In May 2017, the U.S. Justice Department sued the car maker for using software that broke U.S. emissions rules in a number of their vehicles. Whilst stopping short at labelling the software to be an illegal so-called “defeat devices” like those found in Volkswagen vehicles, Fiat Chrysler was thought to be using similar technology that ultimately had a very similar effect.

Audi has announced a recall of almost 5,000 of their cars in Europe over emissions software issues. A total of 4,997 A8 model cars with 4.2 litre V8 diesel engines are affected by the recall. Retailing new at around £64,000, over 3,500 of the recalled vehicles are located in Germany where the coalition government has reportedly agreed to reduce emissions by at least 85% by 2050.
The affected vehicles will join other Audi vehicles fitted with the so-called “defeat device” software to be recalled for a technical “fix”.

Greenpeace activists reportedly took action in protesting the shipping of thousands of new Volkswagen diesel vehicles into the U.K. from Germany.
On 21st September 2017, activists were said to have boarded a 23,500 tonne ship in the Thames Estuary that contained the new cars by climbing the unloading door and hanging a huge poster of one of the protesters’ children wearing a gas mask with the words “ditch diesel” written over it.
They demanded the vehicles be returned to Germany where they were made.

Drivers of vehicles that produce the most pollution may be charged up to £21.50 each day they drive in London, according to new proposals to keep pollution levels in the capital down.
The £10 toxicity T-charge couples with the £11.50 congestion charge that is set to apply to diesel and petrol vehicles registered before 2006 and do not comply with Euro 4 regulations on vehicle emissions.
Some vehicles registered before 2008 may require checks to see if drivers are liable for the charge. London Mayor, Mr Sadiq Khan, launched the T-charge to tackle air pollution levels in central London in preparation for his plans for the ultra-low emission zone to be introduced in April 2019.

Following on from Volkswagen’s huge car emissions cheating scandal, the Swiss Federal Criminal Court ordered that the Swiss Attorney General launch an official criminal probe into AMAG; Switzerland’s largest car importer and dealer.
AMAG was founded in 1945 and sells vehicles by Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and SEAT. The huge dealership generated over 4.4 billion Swiss Francs in 2015, and employed around 5,400 people nationwide at the time. The Federal Criminal Court said they ‘took the view that it could not be completely excluded that persons at AMAG were aware that emission values had been manipulated‘, and therefore seized evidence relating to the Volkswagen scandal from the dealership.

Volkswagen Group are reportedly set to take another £2.19 billion from third quarter budgets to cover the costs of its “buy-back” and “fix” schemes for cars fitted with so-called “defeat devices” in the U.S… Adding to the already monumental cost of the scandal that amounts to over £15 billion so far. The company said they’re increasing their budget to cover these costs as it was “proving to be far more technically complex and time consuming.”
“Yes, we’d already assumed this may be the case…”
News of the additional costs has reportedly had an impact on shares, reportedly dropping by 3% as investors may be losing further faith in the company. Some sources expect the scandal to cost Volkswagen up to £22.5 billion in total, yet U.K. victims are still neglected by the German automotive giants.

Read any book about Victorian London and it’ll likely mention the smog that enveloped one of the greatest cities in the world. The Great smog of 1952 choked residents, halted business and killed animals. You would think that with the drastic increase in technological development, we would be living in a world free of air pollution, and with companies like Volkswagen promising “Clean Diesel” technology, we were hopeful of a better future.
That was until we realised their ‘eco-friendly’ vehicles were far more harmful than people thought.
Today, air pollution is still a major concern for Londoners with the capital being densely packed with 8.6 million inhabitants. Compared to the average of 1,010 people per square mile in the rest of the country, London has an incredible 13,410 people per square mile. The bustling city is cramped with high-rise buildings and traffic – lots of traffic.
With such a high density of people, pollution is a major problem.

A court-appointed settlement advisor in Washington has confirmed that Fiat-Chrysler has engaged in settlement talks with claimant lawyers over yet another car emissions scandal that has plagued the motor industry these past two years.
The lawyers represent owners of Fiat-Chrysler cars that are reportedly fitted with certain software that can manipulate vehicle emissions and can affect the difference between emissions levels identified in testing and real-world conditions; similar to the ongoing Volkswagen Emissions Scandal.
Although Fiat-Chrysler deny they have done anything intentionally wrong, lawyers have brought claims in the U.S. that are looking likely to settle in favour of the drivers.

According to French newspaper Le Monde, the major car company jointly owned by Peugeot, a Chinese holding company, and the French state is being investigated for allegedly cheating emissions for diesel vehicles.
The motor group sells Peugeot, Citroen, DS automobiles, Opel and Vauxhall vehicles across the globe, bar the U.S., Canada and India.
It’s reportedly suspected that up to two million of their vehicles may be fitted with illegal software that can manipulate emissions outputs. The story screams of similarities to that of the VW Emissions Scandal, where 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide were fitted with software that falls within the definition of a so-called “defeat device”.

Since the VW emissions scandal erupted in September 2015, and since then there’s been rumours that other auto-makers have been up to similar activities. Allegations were made against the 7th largest auto maker, Fiat-Chrysler, a day after VW agreed to pay around £3.3 billion in civil and criminal penalties for its wrongdoing.
Despite the carmaker denying any wrongdoing, authorities have been investigating their vehicles and have found software that can reportedly affect emissions readouts. As such, it’s something we’re keeping a very close eye on, as there are some remarkable similarities between the VW emissions scandal and the probes in to Fiat-Chrysler.

It came to light in 2015 that Volkswagen had fitted 11 million of their vehicles worldwide with so-called “defeat devices” that could ensure they passed lawful emissions testing whilst polluting far more dangerous NOx in real world conditions.
We currently represent thousands of victims of the scandal here in the U.K.

People don’t always realise the huge impact that some cars are having on the environment and our health. Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) is produced in the emissions of diesel vehicles, and it’s very damaging to human health and the environment. NOx can get trapped in built-up areas and contributes to a number of health problems.
NOx is the pollutant at the heart of the VW emissions scandal. It’s NOx that VW’s so-called “defeat device” is essentially allowing to be polluted way more than the official testing figures suggested.
As a dangerous pollutant, it needs to be heavily regulated, but thanks to VW, 11 million vehicles worldwide have been polluting more NOx than they were supposed to…
