There were also unconfirmed reports on Monday that senior R&D heads working across the car group had been suspended. Reuters said the suspensions involved staff from the Audi, Porsche and the VW brands.

Does the EU have a Carbon Tax ?

I would guess that diesel-powered Porsches have the same problem.

Your article sparked my interest. It appears Audi, like VW, was trying to boost its sales by injecting its computers with the same evil software. What a sooty proposition...fueling even more anger by the public.

The question in particulate now is, will it really matter in the long haul?

I don’t give a rat’s hindquarters what my diesel emits.

[Chewbarkah]

Can someone give a technical explanation of this (numbers are made up for illustration):
1) Car A gets 25 mpg with the “test mode” software running.
2) With “illegal” software changes, same vehicle performs better and gets 30 mpg.
3) There being no free energy lunch, this can only happen via more efficient and complete combustion. That would result in lower hydrocarbon emissions. How exactly is this worse for the environment?

Is the gubment requiring more hydrocarbon emission as a tradeoff for something they have decided is worse? What?

[Fledermaus]

I don’t blame them. The EPA CAFE standards are stupid and arbitrary and is nothing but libearl tyranny.
