Emissions Readings for Volkswagen Cars: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Alan Nolan:
In general, the tax is based on the type approval document, which carries the type approval measure on CO2 emissions and on CO2 only. Consequently, provided the cars are within this measure - that is why this debate at European level is about the approval document and making sure the vehicles actually match what was carried in the approval - it should have no implications for people.
