Now Volkswagen is clean and with a great breath from the gifbeker empty, however, there is a new scandal has come to light. This time it concerns the CO2 emissions of both gasoline – and diesel-cars.

Higher CO2-emissions than indicated
This time it is not the EPA that the new emissiefraude brings to light, the car manufacturer comes with the news to the outside. Volkswagen says that there are ‘irregularities are found ” in the determination of the CO2-emissions of different models. The total to 800.000 cars within the Volkswagen Group. The cars have higher CO2 emissions than is indicated, so that the actual fuel consumption is not consistent with the specified values.

Painful
Or Volkswagen also defeat devices (sjoemelsoftware) is not to be said. In addition to the fact that the car manufacturer takes into account a cost of 2 billion euros to the CO2 problem, fiksen they have little about los. We have a statement from CEO Matthias Müller:

“From the very start, I have pushed hard for the relentless and comprehensive clarification of events. We will stop at nothing and nobody. This is a painful process, but it is our only alternative. For us, the only thing that counts is the truth. That is the basis for the fundamental realignment that Volkswagen needs.”

Read: we bedonderen the quantity on more planes, and now we head on the chopping block are, we are in a very strategic yet a few seem to be out of the closet. Nevertheless, good that they’ll come out. That would be more brands should do.

What is the progress of this CO2 story is going to be, and how Volkswagen is going to resolve, will undoubtedly in the coming weeks will be announced. It is not yet known which models are involved.

UPDATE: It would go to the 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 litre diesels from 2012 are built. The affected models are the VW Golf, Polo, Passat, Audi A1 and A3, Seat Ibiza and Skoda Octavia. The benzineblok what is suspicious, is the 1.4 block with cilinderuitschakeling in the VW Polo BlueGT.

Footnote: this refers to the CO2 emissions of VAG-cars. The previous emissieschandaal, which covers 11 million cars worldwide, relates to the NOx emissions, which sjoemelsoftware was reduced during the emissietesten.
