AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/15 Report--

Daimler Mercedes-Benz Germany has just been investigated by the European Union monopoly door, the Chinese market suffered a new car oil spill to protect rights, and now exhaust emissions have also happened. According to German media reports, the German Ministry of Transport is investigating whether 60,000 cars owned by Mercedes-Benz are equipped with emissions cheating software.

It is understood that the German Ministry of Transport found abnormal software functions in Mercedes-Benz vehicles during the emission test last year and immediately launched an investigation. The vehicles are currently targeting some Mercedes-Benz GLK diesel vehicles produced in 2012-2015, and the cheating software will be turned on only when it is detected that it is in an emission test, thus concealing the phenomenon of excessive emissions.

A spokesman for Daimler has confirmed that the German Transport Agency had earlier held a dialogue with Daimler on the incident and held a hearing, saying that it would continue to cooperate with the German Transport Agency in its investigation.

Once there is formal cheating, Daimler will face a credibility crisis, with huge fines in addition to the recall of the vehicles.

The emission door of the German automobile industry began in 2015, when Volkswagen Group was exposed for cheating in emission tests, adjusting the working status of diesel engines through cheating software, so that exhaust emissions reached the standard in the testing state, and once returned to the official state, emissions must far exceed the regulatory standards.

In June 2018, Daimler recalled more than 770000 cars in Europe, including the Viking, GLC and C-Class cars, for installing emissions cheating software. The solution was to upgrade the engine software.
