After the emission scandal, South Korea has taken the big step of halting the sale of 80 Volkswagen models whilst investigations continue in to the emission scandal that Volkswagen is at the heart of.
Most of the models that had been showcased for sale were recently removed. It is alleged that the affected vehicles had falsified documents for the emissions and the sound-level tests.
The environment minister made a statement saying:
“As of August the 2nd, we have revoked the certification of 83,000 vehicles of 80 models”.
Between 2009 and 2015 Volkswagen installed software on models which allowed them to cheat pollution testing, making their cars appear more environment friendly. The software, aka as ‘defeat devices’, allowed the cars to pass emissions tests by switching on the emissions control software when under test conditions. When the car was not being tested, the software was switched off, and the cars emitted up to 40 times more nitrogen oxide.
Only certain models were fitted with the defeat device, but it is thought around 11 million cars had the device installed over the six year period.
The German car makers are offering US car owners up $10,000 each in compensation; but so far, they are yet to offer deals to any other countries.
We represent thousands of victims here in the UK as we fight for justice and compensation – and we stand by our Canadian friends who are also seeking justice as victims of the scandal.

Volkswagen and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) are looking into testing different hardware and software that may help Volkswagen not have to buy back hundreds of thousands of diesel cars sold in the United States that were installed with defeat devices to cheat emissions testing.
CARB are working with the German car maker to see whether there are any fixes that could allow Volkswagen to fix its effected diesel engines in order to help them reduce the financial damage that the company would face. But this still may not be enough to appease disgruntled owners, or help to preserve Volkswagen’s reputation since being tarnished by the emissions scandal.

Rupert Stadler will have to pay back 12,500 euros that was expensed as a ‘beer contest’ with 30 different managers in 2015. The event was reclassified as a private party after it underwent an internal review.

It’s not getting any easier for the Volkswagen Group…
We already act for thousands of UK victims of the scandal, and we already have reports from experts, and from our own clients, about the adverse affects that the recall is having, and is going to have, on vehicles.
The latest reports from Italian consumer group Altroconsumo are even more damning – their testing revealed that the fix for the Q5 actually INCREASED NOx emissions by 25%!

Campaigners say that the British government is wrongfully failing to investigate pollution levels from vehicles in the aftermath of the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal.
We know there are differences between the results the lab tests produce and the real world conditions, but in light of what has happened with the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal, environmentalists are saying that more could have been done, and more should be done moving forward.

Volkswagen agreed to compensate U.S. victims of “dieselgate” in April following increased pressures from the government to put a package in place.
We can now confirm that a settlement has been reportedly reached on American soil to the tune of $10.2bn with cash payments to be made of around $5,000 although they could reach up to $7,000 (roughly between £1,400 and £5,000 in sterling!)
Yet despite this news, they are still refusing to pay compensation to UK victims!

The breaking of the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal has naturally resulted in other car makers coming under the spotlight for allegedly bending or breaking the rules for emissions testing. Several other manufactures have already been accused by regulators, but independent research conducted by a transport and environment campaign group suggests the scandal is very wide indeed.
It is claimed that some 30 more “dirty diesel” vehicles have produced “suspect” results, with evidence of some allegedly employing defeat devices as well.

Audi vehicles are already being brought in, but we are now advised that Volkswagen have been given the go ahead for the recall fixes for 2L Passat, CC, and Eos models by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority.
That equates to 800,000 of the 11 million worldwide!
There is still a long way to go, and concerns over how well fixes will work on other models remains an ongoing issue.

We’ve said it right from the start, and repeated this sentiment several times since we launched our action against the Volkswagen group – which car maker is next?
With Mitsubishi, Nissan, Fiat, and Opel all being in the limelight with various admissions and accusations about cheating or rigging emissions data, the question of who has specifically acted illegally is being raised again.
The latest is this: Fiat are being accused of breaking the law, whereas Opal may get away with what they have done because of how we define what’s “legal” and how we define what is “cheating.”
