in addition, measurements at several corporations were sharply increased levels of pollutants in diesel vehicles. like the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, NDR and WDR reported. The Federal Environment Ministry warned against the misuse of controversial systems to switch off the emission control of cars.
The Federal Motor Vehicle Office had initiated as a result of VW-exhaust affair measurements in other groups. Volkswagen had tampered with an illegal software exhaust test on diesel vehicles. It was about values of harmful nitrogen oxide. Worldwide it is about eleven million cars.
In Mitsubishi affected by the manipulations total 625 000 cars for the domestic market. 468 000 vehicles which were built for the Japanese rivals Nissan. Data that are used in consumer tests such as the resistance of the tire in a rolling condition are, been manipulated, Mitsubishi Motors informed. Affected are called kei car (literally light automobile). So in Japan microcar be named, whose engines have a capacity not exceeding 660 cubic centimeters, and may be no wider than about 1.50 meters. These cars are tax deductible in Japan.
From Nissan made consumption tests had deviated from the data, the Mitsubishi Motors have presented to the authorities, admitted Mitsubishi boss Aikawa. The discrepancy was probably be about five to ten percent, he said. The consumption of the cars would be around five to ten percent have been higher if properly approach, as Mitsubishi Motors had indicated.
This affects four models. The production and the sale of the car had been stopped, it said in a statement. Given the severity of the incident they would be investigating products that have been produced for foreign markets, Mitsubishi Motors announced on with. In Germany, no cars are concerned.
Meanwhile, reported “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, WDR and NDR, measurements on behalf of KBA had shown that corporations have their motors constructed so that the pollutant nitrogen oxide at low temperatures unfiltered the air is blown. The statutory nitrogen oxide limits would partly exceeded by a multiple in many of the more than 50 tested vehicle models.
The investigations ranged according to the report, among other things on cars from Daimler, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Opel, Renault, Peugeot and Fiat. The producer had denied the allegations even with previous reports on the subject. The companies rely according to the report on a regulation of the European Union, which allows a temporary shutdown of the abatement. This is supposed to prevent engine damage at low temperatures.
A spokesman for the Federal Environment Ministry said a shutdown would be a “wholly exceptional” and this is clearly defined. If manufacturers might spawn limit for activating the emission control only at 10 or 20 degrees, this would not correspond to the rules of the European Union.
