Because of bad publicity.

Today in the ever-lasting sjoemel-soap we have Nissan. The Japanese carmaker, which recently a large interest in brand new sjoemelkoning Mitsubishi nam, is now himself accused of manipulatiepraktijken. The indictment comes from the South Korean government. According to the ministry of the Environment sjoemelt Nissan dieselvariant of the Qashqai. The South Korean government drew this conclusion after a research on twenty cars. The Koreans want 300 million Won of the car manufacturer. That comes down to converted thick 257.000 euro.

In a statement denies Nissan, however, the betuigingen. The car manufacturer says not to cheat and rejects all the accusations.

“We are committed to upholding the law and meeting or exceeding regulations in every market where we operate. Any suggestion that we have not complied with regulations and are illegally controlling gas emissions is wrong. The testing and conclusions reached by the TIRED* are inconsistent with those of other regulators who have themselves carried out stringent testing. Authorities in the EU have concluded that the Nissan vehicles they’ve tested – including the Qashqai – were fully compliant with homologation standards. Nissan is disappointed by the statements of the MOE and firmly denies that any wrong doing has taken place.”

Also can Nissan an indictment to meet. According to the Koreans used Nissan sjoemelsoftware to have data to manipulate, similar to that of Volkswagen.
