AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/22 Report--

According to foreign media reports, the German local procuratorate announced a few days ago that the phased investigation results were announced according to the Volkswagen "emission door" incident. Five defendants, including former Volkswagen president Winterkorn, were formally charged. The day before, another German car company, Daimler Group, was again investigated by the German Federal Motor Transport Agency on suspicion of using software to falsify car exhaust test data.

The US regulator, which was the first to expose the Volkswagen exhaust problem, submitted a report in September 2015, pointing out that Volkswagen has been proved to use cheating software to adjust the working condition of the engine through driving ECU, and the software can identify whether the vehicle is testing, such as testing at a constant speed on the horsepower machine and adjusting the angle of the steering wheel, etc.) in order to adjust the engine condition. However, under the actual working conditions, the actual pollutants of Volkswagen models are 40 times higher than the legal ones.

The German court examined the lawsuit of five Volkswagen executives, including Winterkorn, and found him guilty of facing 10 years in prison. The day before Winterkorn was charged, Daimler was again summoned by the German Federal Procuratorate for software cheating.

The constant fermentation of emission doors has led the German auto industry to add an indelible stain to German manufacturing.
