Now, several engineers at Volkswagen’s explanation for why you cheated with the cars’ harmful emissions:
The demands of former CEO Martin Winterkorn was too high, but no one dared speak up.
The new details of the Volkswagen scandal published in Bild am Sonntag. The newspaper went Winterkorn at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2012 out with that Volkswagen could reduce its carbon emissions by 30 percent by 2015. The engineers piece that goal was far too loud – but no one dared to speak up.
Instead started to cheat.
Can cost the company 300 billion
The scandal broke out in September when the US environmental authority EPA discovered that Volkswagen manipulated emission tests so it should look like the cars emitting less harmful emissions than they do – and thus manage for limit values for emissions. In Sweden, over 100 000 cars declared affected.
