[VAG] VW Dieselgate: truffa nei test delle emissioni

[skizzo_85]

capito.

comunque lo sconto, la valutazione che mi fanno dell'usato ecc ecc è già tanta roba, oltretutto ho già firmato il contratto e la cifra mi va bene.

è un auto che nuova sarebbe costata circa 45mila euro, la pago la metà con 36mila km.

certo

anche se l'unico proprietario con cui ha fatto della strada l'ha targata a luglio 2014, meno di due anni fa.

sta poi ad ognuno fidarsi e fare le proprie valutazioni

VW's 'defeat device' software developed at Audi in 1999, report says

BERLIN (Reuters) -- German carmaker Audi created so-called defeat devices which cut emissions in 1999, years before parent company Volkswagen used them to cheat diesel emissions tests, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported today.

VW, Europe's largest automaker, admitted in September it had manipulated the engines of around 11 million diesel cars, including its VW, Audi, Porsche, Skoda and Seat brands.

Engineers at Audi developed software capable of turning off certain engine functions in 1999, but it was never used by the VW luxury division, the newspaper said in an advance release of an article due to be published on Wednesday, which cited industry and company sources.

Six years later, when VW engineers at the firm's Wolfsburg headquarters were unable to bring nitrogen oxide emissions below legal thresholds, they started to install the software developed by Audi, Handelsblatt said.

VW and Audi both declined to comment on the report, citing ongoing investigations by U.S. law firm Jones Day into the diesel emissions scandal. VW has said Jones Day will publish a "substantial report" on its findings by the end of April.

VW's supervisory board is due to discuss the potential costs of the emissions scandal and approve 2015 earnings on April 22, a day after a deadline for VW and U.S. regulators to agree a solution for U.S. cars fitted with the software.

Cheating code words said to complicate VW's emissions probe

FRANKFURT (Bloomberg) -- Investigators probing Volkswagen Group's diesel-emissions cheating are struggling to make headway through data secured from more than 1,500 laptops that includes obscure company code words, according to people familiar with the status of the investigation.

This means it's unlikely there will be a complete report on the carmaker's emissions cheating by the end of the month when VW is due to report 2015 earnings, the people added.

The probe has been slowed by the use of dozens of code words, including "acoustic software," for the illicit technology Volkswagen used to turn off pollution controls when cars were on the road, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the investigation is confidential.

The confusion along with partly insufficient and outdated computer systems made it difficult to find evidence concrete enough to hold individual employees accountable, they said.

About 450 internal and external investigators have focused on about 20 employees linked to the deception, according to the people familiar with the probe, which is being led by U.S. law firm Jones Day with assistance from Deloitte LP. Proceedings have dragged on because many interviewees were reluctant to provide insight due to fear of the legal consequences, said the people.

Nearly every step of VW's efforts to recover from the cheating scandal has taken more time than expected. The company pushed back its reporting date for last year's earnings, delayed its shareholders' meeting and sought a month's extension on a court deadline for negotiating a solution for rigged cars in the U.S. Most of the 11 million tainted cars are still on the road after a sluggish start to a recall in Europe and as talks in the U.S. remain unresolved.

Complete clarification

Stephan Weil, the prime minister of the German state of Lower Saxony, Volkswagen's second-largest shareholder, had called on the company to provide "complete clarification" by this month on how the cheating originated. Volkswagen will report last year's earnings figures on April 28.

Weil told lawmakers last week that investigators had done hundreds of interviews.

"We're in consultations regarding the clarification of the diesel issues," Volkswagen said in an emailed statement. "We'll comment in the second half of April."

Volkswagen has so far insisted that a small group of individuals were responsible for the so-called defeat device and that senior management was unaware of the scope of the issue until shortly before it became public on Sept. 18. Former CEO Officer Martin Winterkorn probably missed warning signs including a May 2014 memo, according to a Volkswagen statement last month.

A full account of the wrongdoing will be critical for Volkswagen to move on from the crisis. VW had planned to provide a comprehensive report on the wrongdoing by its annual shareholder meeting, which was delayed to June from April 21 due to uncertainty over the financial impact of the scandal.
