You thought the news for Volkswagen today something was more positive? Think again.

The California Air Resources Board has announced that the planned fix for the 2.0-litre diesels are easy to reproduce. It comes here to the models made between 2009 and 2015 with up to 40 times more NOx could emit (statement here). The fix would not be “adequate” and quickly developed enough. Volkswagen would be the choice to increase the quantity to deceive themselves have made and They need to make it right. Today’s action is a step in the direction of assuring that will happen.” Then you know that.

This no one had seen it coming and the fix was almost ready. The organisation says to continue the investigation and with Volkswagen in talks to continue to find a solution. There are no direct fines imposed, but in a new message comes to the fore that the kwaliteitswaardes again exceeded. In the United States, this is going to be to 600,000 cars, while worldwide there is around 11 million.

It is here, according to Volkswagen to fix that last december, submitted to the California Air Resources Board. Volkswagen is not out of the field store and turn the “cooperation” tomorrow on, as the Californian organisation and Volkswagen speak again.
