Important news for millions of unsettled owners of diesel cars from the Volkswagen Empire: The Group prepares a repair action is affected by the exhaust manipulation vehicles , They will cost the owners nothing. The company had a time horizon of a few weeks is set, in which the measures are to be presented, said a VW spokesman on Saturday in Wolfsburg.
Previously, up demands for a prompt recall of cars frequently. About a week ago, the US Environmental Protection Agency had informed Volkswagen have special software used to manipulate the evaluation of pollutant emissions in exhaust gas tests.
The concerned eleven million vehicles were identified worldwide. “I think the dealers starting next week are meaningful,” said VW spokesman overlooking unsettled customers. The car holder could continue with the affected vehicles initially. They would all be written.
“enormous costs” for Volkswagen
The procedure for removing the software error will tailored for the individual markets with the respective authorities. “This could be a recall, but also a service action.” The cost of the repair would take over Volkswagen. How much this will be for the carmaker, am not certain. “There are huge costs, but it is completely natural that the customers are not left sitting on the costs.”
Earlier, the Deputy SPD parliamentary group chairman Sören Bartol called for in the “Bild” newspaper “. VW must voluntarily and immediately call in the workshops and resolve manipulating the rigged vehicles in Germany”
Worldwide, eleven million vehicles of different brands of the group affected, of which 2.8 million in Germany. At the core VW brand there are according to information from Wolfsburg total of five million. It is about different models of several years of construction, about the sixth generation Golf, the Passat the seventh generation and the first generation of the Tiguan. Installed an engine with the type designation EA is 189 in 1,6- and two-liter variants, the used came about even with Audi and Skoda.
new cars with Euro 6 Standard not affected
“We are working flat out on a technical solution, which we will present as soon as possible the trade, our customers and the general public” announced on Friday VW brand chief Herbert Diess. All VW cars that had the Euro 6 standard, are not affected by the manipulation. These included, inter alia, the current models of the Golf, Passat and Touran.
Federal Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks (SPD) said a change of course in the exhaust gas measurements. “We are currently working in Brussels for new, honest measurement methods. We must rely not only on testing in the lab,” she told the “Handelsblatt”. It must “be measured in real driving conditions, what comes out of the exhaust.” The environment minister admitted that it was generally known that the values determined in the laboratory did not agree with what takes place in real driving conditions. That is the reason why the EU had decided a new measurement procedure. That had nothing to do with what VW did.
On Friday the VW supervisory board Porsche CEO Matthias Müller was appointed as new CEO at Europe’s largest carmaker. According to shareholders’ representatives Müller should educate the manipulations comprehensively. “He has to make the scandal transparent and regain lost confidence,” the president of the German protection combination for security possession (DSW), Ulrich Hocker, the German Press Agency said. “You have to go through with the iron broom because ultimately. Those who have caused the scandal must be punished.” In addition, the new boss must maintain profitability – also so that the carmaker could shoulder the anticipated penalties
