Last year, immediately after the Frankfurt exhibition, the Volkswagen Group was at the center of the scandal, of the so-called Dieselgate. In cars that were circulating in the USA and had diesel engines of pre-Euro technology 6, software was found that recognized the vehicle was receiving an emissions test and automatically dropped the emissions. But what about today; How dangerous new diesel engines are to public health;
“General” Diesegade
Transport's survey results & Environment (T&E), umbrella organization of European non-governmental organizations, are surprising. They show that the Euro 6 Volkswagen diesels are the cleanest in the automotive industry right now!The T&E analyzed data from emissions tests of approx 230 cars with a diesel engine. Emissions prices are from M governments. Britain, France and Germany but also a large public database.
The tests were done on the road under realistic driving conditions and not on some laboratory bench. What did the tests show; That all diesels exceed the permissible levels of nitrogen oxide (NOx), high emissions of which are responsible for serious diseases, such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema (lung disease).
