Re: Tze Germans...
No other car maker has been caught with a defeat devices, software designed to detect test mode and change engine parameters compared. This is a very clear distinction.
Not true.
Daimler have been caught including 'defeat devices'.
Fiat Chrysler are being fined by the EPA for similar reasons.
Nissan and Renault have both been accused of cheating on their emissions tests, but I don't think it's been proved either way yet, so lets put them on the 'maybe' pile.
(Audi and Porsche have been fined as well, but they're both VW group companies so lets not count them)
It turns out that hitting recent diesel emissions targets is really tricky, and pretty much every manufacturer has 'struggled'. Some have straight up cheated, whereas others have done their best to make sure that their vehicles can pass the tests, which is not the same as keeping to that level of emissions during regular driving.
