Men dette er jo bare semantikk. Jukser du så er det juks.
Fiat-Chrysler:
"The software reduced the amount of nitrogen oxide emitted during emissions tests, obscuring the fact that they spew more of the pollutant than is allowed under the Clean Air Act, officials said. They stopped short of calling the technology a “defeat device,” which is illegal, but said the company has not yet offered another explanation for the software."
“Failing to disclose software that affects emissions in a vehicle’s engine is a serious violation of the law, which can result in harmful pollution in the air we breathe,” Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, said in a statement."
Fremdeles under etterforskning.
I januar startet franske myndigheter etterforskning av Renault pga av mistanke om svindel.
"German auto giant Daimler has made legal threats against an environmental group after it tested diesel cars. The results appeared to show that Mercedes and BMW models are also cheating on emissions tests."
"Nissan has been found guilty of using a cheat device on the Renault-sourced 1.6-litre diesel engine on the British-built Qashqai SUV sold in South Korea, the country's government has ruled."
"Mitsubishi: We've been cheating on fuel tests for 25 years"
"Researchers found BMW, Ford, Mazda and Mercedes cars emitted levels of nitrogen oxides up to seven times the legal limit
Volkswagen engines polluted 35 per cent less than comparable cars
Findings suggest other manufacturers have found ways to pass the tests"
Mye gråsone her. Vanskelig for noen av oss å se at VW er noe værre enn andre.
Alle har jukset, men noen av oss er ikke så prinisppielt opphengt i hvordan det er gjort.
