Leonardo Di Caprio starebbe avviando la produzione di un film sul Dieselgate

Comunque è interessante il ricordo di chi riceve ed ha ricevuto soldi e da dove...repetita juvant.

[fioc]

In pratica hanno emesso questo comunicato solo per salvarsi la faccia e farsi un po' di pubblicità

D'altronde, smontare totalmente VAG, non è una buona idea per nessuno. Giusto fargliela pagare però, e questo sta succedendo...

Si però mi sarei aspettato un po' di più : dici che hai prestato soldi per abbattere le emissioni ma che ,probabilmente, non solo non sono serviti ma anzi hanno contribuito a sviluppare motori maggiormente inquinanti e la conclusione che trai è non chiedere risarcimenti (dovessero essercene i motivi) perché non la vuoi mettere ulteriormente in crisi?

Di solito quando si procede in un certo modo, è perché di fondo si sono fatti dei conti ed alla fine di tutto risulta più conveniente, o meno dannoso, fare così

Si si ma d' accordissimo però essendo finanziata da tutti gli stati europei mi pare essere una dichiarazione un po' "moscia", fosse vero come minimo dovresti dichiarare che non gli darai più il becco d' un quattrino per anni.

Qui però si parla di test su strada, che al momento non sono quelli che fanno fede per valutare se un'auto è in regola o meno

Poi dicono che in AP siamo tutti Fiattari...

fanno il casting su AP...

MUNICH -- Volkswagen Group said it will reduce investment spending at the VW brand by $1.1 billion a year, as well as switch to a different diesel emissions treatment technology and launch an all-electric Phaeton sedan as the flagship for a new focus on electrification.

VW will increase its focus on long range plug-in hybrids and high-volume electric vehicles with a range of up to 300 km (186 miles), the company said in a statement today. The Phaeton sedan will get an all-electric drivetrain to become the flagship of VW brand's flagship for electrification.

The automaker also said it will speed up cost cuts and will overhaul the VW brand model strategy.

"The Volkswagen brand is repositioning itself for the future. We are becoming more efficient, we are giving our product range and our core technologies a new focus," VW brand chief Herbert Diess said in the statement.

The company did not give details on where it would cut investments and costs.

VW said it has decided to switch over to installing only diesel drivetrains with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and AdBlue technology in Europe and North America as soon as possible. VW engines affected by the diesel emissions rigging scandal used lean NOx traps to reduce nitrogen oxides emissions rather than the more expensive urea-based SCR systems.

VW said it will develop a new modular electric architecture dubbed MEB for compact vehicles for all group brands. The standardized system will be designed for all body structures and vehicle types. It would allow the development of "particularly emotional vehicle concepts" and an all-electric range of 250 km to 500 km, the statement said.

The VW brand is likely to slump to a loss this year as it will shoulder the bulk of costs from the diesel emissions cheating that also affected the group's Audi, Skoda, Seat and light commercial vehicle brands, Reuters reported on Friday.

Supplier cuts

VW wants to extract 3 billion euros ($3.41 billion) in price cuts from its suppliers to help mitigate the costs of the emissions scandal, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported.

The measure would be part of a broader cost-cutting program including pay, marketing, sponsoring activities and reducing the variety of models to help VW bear an estimated 40 billion euros in costs of the scandal, the paper reported, citing company sources.

The cuts come amid renewed criticism for Volkswagen’s handling of the scandal, which affects some 11 million cars worldwide. The company was far too slow to disclose its use of software to enable its diesel cars to pass U.S. laboratory emissions tests despite far higher on-road pollution, said Stephan Weil, prime minister of the German state of Lower Saxony and a Volkswagen board member.

"This admission should clearly have come much sooner -- a further serious mistake," Weil told the Lower Saxony parliament today. "Who decided this course of action and when is also something that’s being investigated."

A Volkswagen supervisory board committee charged with overseeing the external investigation into the emissions cheating was meeting today in Wolfsburg.

VW presented German authorities with a plan last week for fixing affected cars in its home market. Regulators are still reviewing the proposals, which range from a software update to new parts for diesel engines.
