Emissions Readings for Volkswagen Cars: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Alan Nolan:

The motor industry is structured in a way that engine designs and software can be utilised by a number of manufacturers. That is the reason we and ACEA, knowing there is common use of certain designs in the industry, asked whether anybody else had this particular type of software aimed at reducing the NOX during a test. The answer was "no", nobody else has that in operation.
