The controversial Software in the EA-189-motors is “no improper shutdown the device according to European law,” said a group spokesman. The effectiveness of the exhaust cleaning system will not be reduced in these vehicles, the spokesman said.
accused of The organization is to have, as well as other manufacturer’s Software in the diesel vehicles built in that detects when an exhaust gas test is performed. Then, you ensure that less nitrogen oxide are emitted.
manipulation software was discovered during Tests in the United States. There, Volkswagen accepts both penalties as well as damages. Not so in Germany and Europe. Although the Federal motor transport authority determined, but VW takes a different view than the authority: “Although it differs from Volkswagen, represented the legal view of the legal assessment of the German Federal motor transport authority, Volkswagen has consciously decided to, against the decision of the Federal motor transport from 15. October 2015 no appeal.”
In Germany, were only converted a few cars from the manufacturer. It was in the special interest of the customer, “constructive and co-operative Hand-in-Hand” to cooperate with the authorities, said a VW spokesman. As an admission of guilt, one wants to know not understood.

The deal includes up to ten billion dollars for the repurchase of up to 475.000 diesel vehicles with excessive nitrogen oxides. The customers should be able to leave their cars not only to buy it back or converted, but in addition with up to $ 10,000 will be compensated.
