Practices that the light can not tolerate, the researchers of TNO knew that it happened. And not just at Volkswagen.

Researchers from TNO, the Dutch ministry of Infrastructure and Environment in 2011 ingeseind about defects in emissietesten. Almost all of the tested diesel cars with Euro 5 engines, which emitted more nitrogen – the basis of Volkswagens dieselgate – out than was given. But despite these red flags, they were so-called ‘defeat devices’ (sjoemelsoftware in the vernacular) are not noticed, says the FD.

The results of the tests with Euro 5 diesels, which, in practice, three to four times more NOx appeared to emit, were shared with European zusterinstituten, and then came out that the Swiss metrology institute Empa such deviations had been observed.

In short, we knew it, so why drew no one to the call? “There are these tests are not suited for. It was not the command, and there was no budget for, says TNO-scientist Norbert Ligterink in the FD. So to the cause of the discrepancies is never searched. Weird. But now thanks to the US know why the NOx-emissions in practice, not beat, they dare have the following quote in the media to throw:

“Across the board we see high praktijkemissies. It is a public secret that car manufacturers and the cars of their colleagues, testing and solutions to copy.”

In short, we have not yet even begun with the opening of the cesspool.
