1) Volkswagen was found to have installed illegal "defeat device" software in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide to cheat emissions tests.
2) The software could detect test scenarios and put engines into a low-power mode to reduce emissions during tests.
3) Volkswagen faces fines up to $18 billion in the US and long-term damage to its reputation and brand trust. Other carmakers may face increased scrutiny over emissions testing practices.
4) The scandal has major implications for Volkswagen and the auto industry, with consumers potentially losing trust in diesel vehicles and manufacturers.
Volkswagen installed defeat device software in their diesel vehicles that could detect emission testing scenarios. During tests the software would put the engine into a "safe mode" where it met emissions standards, but on the road the vehicles emitted nitrogen oxide at levels up to 40 times the legal limit. In 2015 Volkswagen admitted to cheating emissions tests in the US, affecting 11 million vehicles worldwide. The scandal has major financial and reputational costs for Volkswagen, and they have launched initiatives to repair damage, increase compliance, and address customer concerns regarding affected vehicles.
The document summarizes the Volkswagen emissions scandal known as "Dieselgate". It describes how Volkswagen installed defeat device software in diesel vehicles that could detect when they were being tested and change the performance to improve results. When not in test mode, the vehicles emitted nitrogen oxide well above legal limits. The scandal affected millions of Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche vehicles worldwide. It resulted in major financial costs for Volkswagen, numerous lawsuits, and the resignation of top executives. The long-term impacts on Volkswagen's brand reputation and diesel vehicle sales also remain unclear.
The EPA is investigating VW for installing software that enabled its vehicles to cheat emissions tests and later emit 40 times more pollution than allowed.
The document is a presentation for Volkswagen Lucknow about customer awareness and preferences for Volkswagen cars. It discusses Volkswagen as one of the largest car producers in Europe and aims to understand the effective factors in customer awareness and preferences. It outlines research methodology involving a survey of 100 people in Lucknow on their preferences based on factors like fuel, features, offers and after-sales service. Customers suggested increasing service centers and providing regular information on new cars and maintenance tips.
Volkswagen installed software on 482,000 diesel vehicles sold in the US between 2008-2015 to trick emissions tests. The software could detect when the car was being tested and turned on full emissions controls, but turned them off during normal driving to improve performance and fuel economy. VW admitted nearly 11 million worldwide vehicles were fitted with similar "defeat devices", emitting nitrogen oxide levels up to 40 times the legal limit. US authorities can fine VW up to $37,500 per affected vehicle, totaling $18 billion. The scandal is a major setback that will severely damage Volkswagen's reputation.
