AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)01/25 Report--

Volkswagen emissions gate incident continues to ferment, recently Canada, Poland, Australia have imposed penalties on Volkswagen, and asked it to recall the software cheating models involved. However, software cheating and emissions fraud also spread to a number of automakers, Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki.

On January 23, local time, the Dutch Road Administration officially ruled that some diesel models of Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki violated emission regulations and installed cheating software to evade emission tests by monitoring agencies. At the same time, the Authority requires the two companies to recall and fix vehicle problems, otherwise sales will be banned in Europe.

According to foreign media reports, Fiat Chrysler Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel version, as well as Suzuki Vitra diesel models, all have the above problems.

Two diesel models, the Grand Cherokee and Vitara, have adopted the software of the "ban strategy", causing them to emit higher levels of harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) on the road than in the test environment, according to the head of the Dutch transport ministry.

Fiat Chrysler Jeep has developed a software fix, and the company has been asked to recall the model across Europe.

Suzuki said it would actively cooperate with the investigation, but it has not yet provided a credible solution.

It is worth noting that the Suzuki Vitra diesel model is equipped with the diesel engine provided by Fiat (Fiat Multijet 1.6), and Suzuki announced that it had stopped selling diesel cars in Europe as early as 2018.

Since Volkswagen admitted cheating on using illegal software to control emissions in 2015, regulators around the world have been questioning the authenticity of diesel emissions, damaging the impact of diesel vehicles. Over the past four years, countries are still investigating the fraudulent practices of Volkswagen groups and demanding compensation from the public to address the impact of emission pollution on the public and the environment. So far, Volkswagen has paid up to 30 billion euros (234 billion yuan) in fines, vehicle repairs, laws and other fees for the "emission gate".

Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki fell into the "emission gate", although they have not been sued collectively or paid compensation like Volkswagen, but also let the company's image suffer.
