Volkswagen Caught Cheating on Emissions Tests
大众在排放检测中作弊
Volkswagen, the world’s largest car manufacturer, has been caught cheating on US emissions tests. Up to 11 million Volkswagen diesel cars with defeat devices have been sold worldwide. The device, which can detect emissions test equipment, switches a diesel car’s engine to a clean low-performance mode during an e-test. When the car returns to the road with its passing grade, it switches back to regular mode, releasing up to 40 times the legal limit of nitrogen oxide. With fines, recalls, and the company’s reputation at stake, this scandal could cost the company over 30 billion dollars.
大众在美国排放检测中作弊，而大众也是全球规模最大的汽车制造商。通过失效装置软件，大众已经在全球销售了1100万辆柴油汽车。该装置能够检测出排放检测设备，在通过电子检测时，汽车引擎将会转化为清洁、低耗模式。当汽车通过检验返回公路时，引擎将回到正常模式，释放的一氧化氮量超过了限定值的40倍。大众将面临巨额罚款，汽车将被召回，大众名誉也受到了损失，因此次作弊门所带来的损失将超过300亿美元。
