Dissatisfied owners of Volkswagen vehicles from all over the nation came together to protest Volkswagen’s so called “emissions fix” outside the company’s U.K. headquarters in Milton Keynes.
The “fix” is an emissions software update that was introduced after millions of Volkswagen vehicles were found to have been fitted with so-called “defeat devices” that manipulated emissions testing results. Instead of paying consumers compensation for their cheating, Volkswagen are merely offering this software “fix” to alter the software inside VW cars, and they say it won’t cause any problems.
Yet here we are, in 2017, with large numbers of people reporting that the technical measures “fix” IS causing issues…

Many of us love driving, but what people may not see and or realise is the mammoth impact that diesel vehicles are having on the environment and our health!
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) is produced in the emissions of diesel vehicles and it’s increasingly damaging to human health and the environment. NOx can linger in the earth’s atmosphere for over 100 years and can get trapped between buildings in inner city areas, and can have a global warming impact that may be up to 300 times more than Carbon Dioxide.
That’s why NOx emissions from vehicles are heavily regulated and why the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal is far worse than many people may think.

Fiat Chrysler pulled into the emissions scandals…
Fiat Chrysler has said it will discuss the possibility of paying a settlement to those affected by potential emissions cheating involving Fiat Chrysler vehicles. After Volkswagen (VW) were found to have cheated to allow millions of their vehicles to pass stringent emissions testing, authorities have looked into other car makers to see if illegal practices are more widespread across the industry.
Whilst Fiat Chrysler reportedly does not use a so-called “defeat device” in the way VW were found to have been doing, their vehicles have been found to contain software that can alter the way emissions are regulated in the real world when compared to when the vehicles are being tested.

Researchers who discovered the colossal Volkswagen dieselgate scandal say Fiat Chrysler’s so called ‘EcoDiesel’ vehicles are churning out 20 times the legal limit of Nitrous Oxide (NOx).
Whilst emitting half of the extra pollutant when compared to some VW cars, 20 times over the legal limit is still a hefty amount. At a time when VW vehicles are understood to be spewing out tonnes of the pollution, and in times when their so-called “fix” appears to be causing damage to some vehicles, Fiat Chrysler certainly isn’t helping with the industry’s reputation.

How long is a piece of string? – This is probably the best response to a question like “when will VW see an end to repercussions arising from the VW scandal?”
In the latest development in the ongoing and ever-growing emissions scandal, the German government will test Porsche (VW subsidiary company) vehicles following reports that Porches are exceeding emissions limits as well.
Déjà vu? Are there defeat devices in Porsche models too? Time will tell…
But we wouldn’t be surprised if there are…

In the continually evolving emissions scandal, Audi are being accused of breaking emissions laws in their own country for more vehicles.
New evidence has surfaced to suggest prolonged emissions cheating involving additional models, and the German authorities have instructed Audi to extend their recalls.
The German Transport Ministry expect The Volkswagen Group to recall their Audi A7 and A8 vehicles manufactured between 2009 and 2013. Around 24,000 vehicles are thought to be affected by this new recall; a good half of which were sold in Germany.

Almost two years ago Volkswagen shocked the motor industry when it was revealed that the giant car manufacturer had been cheating emissions testing around the world. When confronted by authorities, Volkswagen admitted what they had done quickly and prevented accumulating larger fines and penalties.
The car maker has since been dragged through the mud, paying billions upon billions to wronged consumers and authorities in the U.S. as part of a plea deal to pay penalty fines, settlement sums, and invest in environmental health projects in the U.S.
Albeit, for the rest of the world, they have done very little so far!
However, back in the U.S., VW is now allowing an external team of experts to watch over their operations; and the team is growing…

The full Jones Day investigation will not be published by VW; despite them saying in the early days that it would be…
The point of Volkswagen instructing global law firm Jones Day was to conduct an investigation in to their own company and provide a valuable insight as to how the car giant ended up in this mess in the first place.
The report was supposed to be published for all to see.
Unsurprisingly, Volkswagen backtracked on earlier assertions that the full Jones Day report will be published, and have instead opted to keep the report private. We can, of course, but speculate as to why they have decided to do this; but let’s not be naive here when we think of reasons as to why they’re now keeping it under wraps…

General Motors (GM) are being accused of cheating on their car emissions by allegedly installing devices that have been likened to the ones used by Volkswagen (VW) in their diesel vehicles to pass diesel emissions testing.
The recent lawsuit says that over 705,000 GM cars are thought to be affected.
The 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra diesel pick-up trucks are suspected of carrying software that may be illegal, with both vehicles having the same “Duramax” engines.

German prosecutors and police officers descended upon Daimler offices to search for evidence after the car maker was accused of fraud and misleading advertising.
The raid, conducted by 23 prosecutors and 230 police officers, was carried out across 11 offices in Berlin, Baden-Wuerttembuerg, Lower Saxony and Saxony.
Daimler, the owners of Mercedes-Benz and Maybach, are said to be co-operating with authorities, but employees are suspected of engaging in fraudulent activity and may have tried to hide or destroy evidence. Certain “known and unknown employees” are being sought out for questioning by authorities as a result as the 250-strong German law enforcement team swept offices for incriminating evidence.

It seems that the explosive Volkswagen (VW) emissions scandal has really opened a can of worms as regulatory authorities are making their way around car manufacturers, checking for similar illegal behaviour.
Next on the list is Daimler, parent company of the luxury brand Mercedes Benz.
Not so long ago, regulators began in internal investigation into Daimler amidst concerns that the auto company was also using emissions cheating devices similar to VW’s. Not long after that, a lawsuit was made against Daimler as well.

In April, MPs discussed the third report produced by the Transport Select Committee and the government’s response.
Following on from the lack of action from Volkswagen (VW) in the U.K., MPs Louise Ellman and David T. C. Davies raised questions to minister John Hayes as to why compensation had not been offered to VW’s customers in the U.K., as well as other questions regarding air pollution and the Government’s plan to tackle the issues.
