I hope you Enjoy the video, Do you have any suggestions for future Scandal Episodes Let me know!
I drive a Honda CR-V. The Japanese engineers are indeed quite talented.
I put it down to unrealistic expectations/standards
17:24 Wintercorn? 😂
16:55 I am still wondering how they got away with that, witch such a low penalty.
Imagine if the epa cares this much about the east Palestine train accident
I own a 2013 2.0L 'Eco' Diesel Ford Mondeo. I only pay £30 a year for it's Road Tax (I live in the UK) and it easily pulls 65mph on the motorway so it's cheap as anything to operate.
It definitely has some sort of defeat device in it though…
The industry wide issue is gov regulatory systems that want things implemented prior to the technology or without understanding the scope of supply to be able to achieve the regulations. Much like California wanting no internal combustion engines vehicles by 2025. Not happening.
A friend of mine was an editor-in-chief of a car magazine in a certain European country where VAG dominated the market. As most of the car magazines in Europe, their livelyhood depended on advertising money. Volkswagen Group (VAG) advertising money. With dieselgate, he was afraid the mag would tank as VAG would pull the ad money as a cost saving measure. Quite the contrary.
VAG bought its way out of the dieselgate with ad money … and even more aggresive tactics ('if you say a anything negative in the VAG car test, we'll stop advertising').
Back in 1977 Volkswagen started selling their rabbit diesel here, the following year the first Oldsmobile diesel, but unlike GM, Volkswagen sold rabbit diesel,1985 the first Jetta diesel, and Passat diesel, my point being the government let Volkswagen sell diesel powered cars from 1977-2015 far longer than GM, which leads me to believe that the Volkswagen diesel scandal is based on a bitter rivalry between Volkswagen and 😢GM over the sale of Saab to GM, never understood the validity of that sale in the first place, and since GM Oldsmobile diesels almost 6 years and Volkswagen sold diesel powered cars here for almost 35 years, it's obvious that GM was the whistleblower trying to get even with Volkswagen no doubt.
This resulted in VW still not selling diesel cars in the US, which is ironically probably worse as their modern gas cars see half the mileage of the TDI Ultra diesels in the Euro Market.
If the new production of VW diesel cars are with the new diesel 6 systems there should be no problems !
Not a scandal. The Euro and equivalent US standards are the scandal. Co2 savings >>>>>> minor emissions. Lean combustion all the way….NoX is just fertilizer which is minutely harmful to humans….if you dont breath in the condensed cloud over a bottle of concentrated nitric acid. Which is essentially why 20 year old diesels are the best. That was before euro 4/5/6 . Ie engineers working wih realistic emissions goals as opposed to fantasy.
Going by memory here, but weren’t all Octavias petrol? Fabias we’re diesel but maybe that was only the VRS versions
Every time I see this thumbnail, I think of a toy from the late 1970s/early 1980s: an 8-track tape playing robot called 2XL.
Other brands in europe have been caught doing the same thing it was just that vw was 1st to get caught so they got a worse punishment and backlash from it
Pivoted away from diesel yet audi decided to make a lot of there "s" models diesel only now
First it was global cooling, then acid rain then a hole in the ozone then global warming now climate change…… it’s all BS. Just a huge grift.
Gotta hand it to those bastards, it was a good plan only foiled by complete accident.
Don't understand suing VW those diesel cars got incredible MPG , now compare it to a Hummer 10 MPG which the US govt is ok with?Shows a double standard.
Emissions shit on cars is only making them worse for the environment
So weird, the Germans never do anything bad.
Am I weird for enjoying how easy these are on the eyes for one, while being incredibly informative and leading to wikipedia holes? I love just sitting back with some tea and some smoke and just falling into some random research about human stupidity… I notice a trend among some of these as well, a lot of the cascades of events that happen are mostly unintentional consequences to someone being greedy and/or an idiot. This makes me think that there truly is no way a conspiracy theory would properly work, because try to get people to work together to create an intentional consequence chain this large. It would never happen, this kind of thing only happens accidentally… edit: 10:18 "DEF Exhaust Fluid Only" bit redundant, eh? "diesel exhaust fluid exhaust fluid only" lmao. This phenomenon is more common than you might think
Wrong as per usual, truth is VW was set up by an American rival,a rival that purchased Saab from Volkswagen in 1990 $$$$$ but that venture soon went sour, because that American purchaser of Saab also lost it's best executive at the same time, that combined with other animosities lead to said manufacturer blowing the whistle of Volkswagen selling dirty diesels after 35years selling diesel engines cars here, much longer than olds Volkswagen diesel engines are among the finest in the world,I miss that engine here, that was the perfect engine for compact cars and midsized, so don't believe the lies.
I got a job parking the buy back VWs at a large abandoned Army Air Corp airfield here in Texas. They unloaded car haulers and we parked em all day for weeks.
The irony of getting a VW advert during this 😂
I'm almost 100% that they are doing this scheme right now with the Plug Ins.
It makes me sad because Compression Ignition Engines have all sorts of advantages (or at least useful differences) than spark ignition engines.
Having a Diesel-Electric Hybrid would have been cool af.
As far as I know, the reason wasn't only the reduced power of the cars, but also the amount of Ad Blue used (price/small tank -> inconvenience etc.). So the technology in general is working quite well, all Diesel Trucks in Germany use them, and it works fine. This would have been possible in cars too, but the high amount of Ad Blue needed is not good for selling these cars and the VW supervisory board set high targets in for the distribution. To fulfill these goals, the engineers “had to” cheat, it was just not possible to do it correct. This was also illegal in Germany, but VW doesn't have to pay that high fine as in the US. All cars had to be upgraded anyway, so it was definitely big financial damage.
as someone who lives in wolfsburg, I know this very well ;/
⛽ "DIESELGATE" ⛽
"As part of a legal settlement with California, VW is required to spend $800 million in the state on electric vehicle infrastructure and promoting "awareness"… and "another $1.2 billion outside California promoting electric vehicles." Across the USA, for instance, "the Volkswagen settlement helps pay for installing electric charging stations."
📖 DANIEL YERGIN , 'The New Map' (New York: Penguin Press, 2020), p335-336 and p340.
NOx is gaseous, not particulate.
I’m just gonna bet it all on this one. But I do not agree that a vehicle that burns 1gallon every 40miles pollutes more than a vehicle that burns 1gallon of fuel every 15-20miles.
If I sold fuel for profit, and I could convince everyone that using twice as much was cleaner than use half as much……. Well let’s just say I wouldn’t be wasting time here.
All Planned in advance to make diesels look bad.
I was in the feds with Oliver in Milan, MI, real quiet guy, he definitely took the fall for his bosses. He wanted to be deported back to Germany to finish his sentence, he complained how bad our American prison is compared to Germany. He ate every meal in the chow hall, so he wasn’t ballin out with money. He forsure wasn’t the one who altered the cars software but he’s the one doing time for it.
who cares, as long as the car runs good!
