VW News: As the Diesel Emits: Volkswagen Vehicles To Be Re-Tested By German Authorities After Fix

[William Maley]

German authorities will put Volkswagen's fixes for diesel emissions to the test.

 

German newspaper Die Welt reports that the German Transportation Authority will take Volkswagen vehicles affected by the diesel cheating scandal and perform emission and fuel usage testing once the company begins doing the fixes. Die Welt goes on to say that the test results and raw data will be published in full to guarantee transparency. No word as to when the re-tests would be carried out.

 

Volkswagen says vehicles in Europe only need a software upgrade and a new mesh filter to be placed in front of the vehicle's air mass sensor.
