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The full Jones Day investigation will not be published by VW; despite them saying in the early days that it would be…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.

Experts calling for stricter regulations on emissions tests…
A computer scientist for the University of California, Kirill Levchenko, led a team of researchers to identify the specialised code installed in the so-called defeat devices used by Volkswagen (VW) to manipulate Nitrous Oxide (NOx) emissions test results in diesel vehicles.
After a year of searching, the team of researchers from all over the world found the code in two spots. One source was on VW’s own website in the maintenance section; and the other was posted online in a forum where enthusiasts discussed all things cars.

Another $1 billion has been added to VW’s ever-growing bill in the U.S.
More movements have been made across the pond – District Judge Charles Breyer has approved Volkswagen’s (VW) settlement sum of $1.22 billion to either fix or buy back 80,000-87,000 diesel vehicles affected by the emissions scandal in the U.S.
This is a separate settlement to the deal made last autumn, and was made for owners of the six-cylinder 3.0 diesel engines.

On 12th May, U.S. Federal Judge Sean Cox sentenced VW for its criminal wrongdoing. This is after the automaker pleaded guilty to criminal charges, namely:
The VW emissions scandal has been a never-ending nightmare for the car manufacturer and also for vehicle owners alike. U.K. owners continue to be refused compensation whilst U.S. owners are pushing their settlements ahead.
Following on from their epic deceit that is more formally known as “Dieselgate”, Volkswagen (VW) has agreed to a settlement in relation to the 3.0 litre diesel vehicles in the U.S. that they claimed had low levels of nitrous oxide (NOx), when that actually transpired to be completely false.
