Volkswagen scandal: more than two million Audi equipped … – ladepeche.fr

The judicial investigation is now launched in the scandal of fraud affecting pollution tests the Volkswagen group. It was learned yesterday that 2.1 million Audi and Skoda 1.2 million were also involved.

Volkswagen yesterday continued his revelations dropper on the extent of fixing scandal diesel engines, while the court has placed former boss Martin Winterkorn in his sights and Berlin intimated the group to correct the situation.

Of the 11 million vehicles equipped with software that can skew results pollution control tests – cars but also on light commercial Berlin – 2.1 million are Audi, said Monday a spokesman for Audi. A little later, a Skoda spokesman has reported 1.2 million cars assigned to the only Czech brand.

Friday, Volkswagen began by disclosing the number of the affected cars to brand VW (5 million).

The three brands are among the twelve into the hands of the auto giant, along with Porsche, Seat or Bentley. Volkswagen had promised models list, but obviously prefer to leave the task to each brand to communicate its side.

Greenpeace already criticized the revelations “in spurts” of the group, who after Friday with a new boss, promised “an uncompromising investigation” and “a new beginning”.

Matthias Müller, previously head of the Porsche subsidiary, succeeded Winterkorn, 68 and owner since 2007, has assumed responsibility for the case while claiming to have been aware of anything.

This did not prevent the German courts from initiate an investigation against Mr. Winterkorn, suspected of “fraud”. Meanwhile, prosecutors said yesterday, Volkswagen has lodged a complaint against X for the same reason.

“The goal of investigations is especially to bring light on the responsibility” for this resounding case that erupted there ten days ago in the United States and has taken a global dimension.

The Chairman of the Supervisory Board offending Friday “a small group of people” for the deception, without revealing either the number or the identity

Investigations are opened in several countries, complaints have been filed. – including “class actions” in the United States, and yesterday a complaint in Spain -, tests will be conducted anywhere, including France and the United States on diesel models from competitors. Germany Industrial whole meanwhile, is concerned about its reputation for quality and integrity.

The German government has urged Volkswagen to submit by Oct. 7 a roadmap and timetable recall and up to standard of the 2.8 million cars affected by fraud in Germany.

The direct and indirect costs of this gigantic operation back on track are difficult to predict. The German bank DZ Bank advanced yesterday it could cost 1-3000000000 euros more than the 6.5 billion euros set aside for the moment by Volkswagen. For experts ING the contrary, the 6.5 billion euros would be enough there. But add it possible fines – up to $ 18 billion nothing the United States

Bosch delivered to Volkswagen which is described as an “algorithm. sophisticated “not to activate anti-pollution devices that during official testing.

The German, however, would have provided this software” solely for testing (internal) and not for normal driving. ” In the document dated 2007 was revealed by the daily “Bild”, Bosch and Volkswagen puts on guard the fact that installing this software on the vehicles was “illegal”. It is this year that the German group began to install the software on its diesel engines to rig the results of official tests.

Volkswagen case: Bosch would have provided the software for “testing” – Clubic

After the car manufacturer, it is the turn of another German group to be the target of criticism due to the circumvention of anti-pollution tests. Bosch would have provided the offending software, only for testing, installing them without authorization on Volkswagen vehicles.

According to the German press, Volkswagen and Bosch knew since 2007 that software was inserted in some car models. These computing devices were designed to rig diesel vehicle performance when anti-pollution tests. An agreement would have been signed between the two marks, scoring a close collaboration with the editor.

As a reminder, Volkswagen has acknowledged installed on several of its diesel car models, a system to failed some anti-pollution tests. An algorithm contained in embedded software was able to recognize these events and act accordingly when notified bodies were making pollution testing.

Bild Zeitung , Bosch would be the publisher of the offending software. The company is hiding behind the confidentiality of trade relations with Volkswagen and remains unclear as to the precise contract. She, however, that the software was delivered only be used for purposes “ Test .” The integrator would however have been warned of the bad practices of the manufacturer, without denouncing them.

Meanwhile, German authorities anti-pollution standards have asked manufacturers to remove these programs and make consistent all vehicles. These marks may withdraw their approval for circulating their automobiles in the territory. About 3 million cars would be affected by the measure in Germany, 11 million worldwide.

Volkswagen case: rigging the software provided by Bosch – The Point

Rebound in the Volkswagen case. German newspaper Bild said on Sunday that the German supplier Bosch had provided in 2007 to Volkswagen, for purposes of testing, the software at the heart of the engine fixing scandal, but said the automotive group its installation on vehicles was “illegal”.

Warning

Gerlingen automotive equipment manufacturer (Southwest) and have delivered to Volkswagen this software “provided only for tests (internal), and not for normal driving, “wrote in its edition Sunday Bild , citing an” explosive documents “from 2007 and emanating from Bosch.

Volkswagen had planted that year the software shipped on Bosch diesel engines to rig the results of emission tests, the newspaper writes. In the document, Bosch placed at the time in Volkswagen guard, pointing that install on vehicles was “illegal”, said the newspaper still big draw.

“Held to privacy”

When asked by Bild on Volkswagen’s response to these warnings, a spokesman Bosch said: “In the context of trade relations with Volkswagen, we are required confidentiality. “Bosch had said Tuesday it had provided to Volkswagen of common rail injection systems for diesel engines equip vehicles the center of the fixing scandal engines.

Volkswagen acknowledged this week that the diesel engines some 11 million of its vehicles worldwide were equipped with software to invalidate the results of emission tests. This global scandal has cost Wednesday his place to Martin Winterkorn, CEO of the group since 2007. Matthias Müller, head of Porsche, one of 12 brands of Volkswagen, was appointed Friday to succeed him.

Volkswagen knew since 2007 that its software was illegal – Liberation

Who knew what and when? Since the beginning of the case, internal monitoring bodies to Volkswagen rummage through old files, looking for explanations about the diesel-fixing scandal that has already cost his position at Volkswagen boss Winterkorn replaced Friday Matthias Müller. And we learn every day.

This weekend, the German press has revealed that Bosch would have provided the equipment from 2007 to Volkswagen for software rigging emissions of its diesel vehicles “for testing purposes.” But the vendor had taken care to inform the client in writing that the installation of this software on serial cars would be totally “illegal” . “Obviously, we had knowledge of manipulation of emissions into the high circles of management, since 2007,” says the Sunday edition of Bild Zeitung . Bosch accepts no liability in this case, recalling that “within the framework of our business relations with Volkswagen, we are bound by confidentiality … The responsibility to develop and integrate the components supplied based on VW.”

And there were other warnings from Bosch. According to the Sunday edition of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung this time the German manufacturer a technician would have alerted his superiors in 2011 of these illegal practices. 2011 This written document was presented Friday to members of the Supervisory Board, without anyone being able to explain why these repeated warnings had no effect. The last known alarm signal was in May 2014, when US environmental authorities have begun to address the diesel models of the group. Without that VW does not change its practices, which immerses German observers in the greatest perplexity.

Winterkorn clings to his parachute

Under maximum pressure, the global giant the automobile is about to call a US firm’s external audit, in particular to determine a possible personal liability of several board members. The frames of management who have acted deliberately risk prosecution in a personal and group compensation claims, the newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The CEO leaving, Martin Winterkorn, who endorsed the responsibility of the scandal while ensuring any knowledge of the case, always on his side would claim the golden parachute of € 28 million that secured him his contract. It also would claim his wages until 2016 and severance pay … But it is not yet assured touch that money, given the magnitude of the controversy in Germany.

Long remained silent, the German authorities now require Volkswagen to a timetable for all vehicles affected by deception to anti-pollution standards. The KBA, Federal Transport Authority, asked the manufacturer “binding measures and timetable” by October 7 explaining how the group intends to bring its vehicles to the emissions standards without Software distorting the results, according to the Bild. Otherwise KBA could withdraw its approval to all vehicles concerned. Motorists could no longer use their vehicle if it is affected by the scandal, which portends colossal sums in damages since in Germany alone, nearly 3 million vehicles would be affected; and there are 11 million worldwide.

Daily Die Welt , however, doubt the determination of Berlin, and even talk of “conspiracy diesel “, ensuring that the German government is trying to push the parallel introduction of a new reliable test for the European Union in late 2017 to 2021.

Volkswagen scandal: Bosch would have provided the “cheater” software – Le Figaro

According to the German newspaper Bild , the software was made available in 2007, without, however, expected to equip vehicles for sale.

This is the Bild newspaper in its Sunday edition that stated: the German supplier Bosch admitted to being the company that had provided him with Volkswagen software permits modification of engines to distort the emission tests. Citing an “explosive documents”, the daily explains that the material was made available to the manufacturer in 2007, but that would have reminded Bosch Volkswagen installation on the vehicle was “illegal”. The software, in fact, in the words contained in the document was “intended only for testing (internal) and not for driving.” A warning that does not ultimately prevent its fraudulent installation on at least 11 million of its vehicles worldwide, confessions same manufacturer. Contacted by Le Figaro , Bosch is sticking to silence: “Our business relationship with Volkswagen is confidential, we do not comment,” said the supplier had said Tuesday, in a statement, provide the German manufacturer “of common rail injection systems for diesel engines equipped models (…) based on Volkswagen’s specifications.”

Although Bosch is not formally criminalized in the Volkswagen scandal, this is the second big company whose image could be tarnished by the manipulations of the German manufacturer. The Spanish brand Seat, Volkswagen subsidiary, was pointed at and Saturday by the Spanish Industry Minister José Manuel Soria, which requires to be made public the number of vehicles equipped with an engine rigged. The member of the Iberian government also requires be reimbursed by the Spanish manufacturer subsidies to support for “efficient” vehicles. The Spanish daily El Pais reports that more than half a million vehicles would be affected.

France escapes this time the scandal … at least pending the “random testing” over a hundred cars that should start next week without that we know precisely the dates and terms of the device. The Minister especially appeals to the goodwill of manufacturers which it hopes to “open their laboratories and submit to random testing. This is the only way out of this crisis of confidence, “according to his statements to the Journal du Dimanche .

Deceptive software Volkswagen – RFI

Volkswagen Deceptive software

Distribution: Saturday, September 26, 2015

The Volkswagen automotive group acknowledged using software to invalidate the results of emission tests on its diesel vehicles. This sophisticated computer program toggles the automobile of “road mode” pollutant “test mode” clean automatically during inspections.

“ Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything turns , “explained paraphrasing a philosopher of ancient Greece, the father of modern chemistry Antoine Laurent Lavoisier in March 1789. His research on the phenomenon of combustion or rapid oxidation, allowed a century later German engineer Rudolf Diesel invented an engine in which effectively “ nothing is lost and everything is transformed “, especially in toxic fumes, when carbide diesel. Clean diesel would be a chimera! Except at the wheel of manufacturer Volkswagen models including 11 million vehicles worldwide run since 2009 to digital trickery. The German firm has deliberately distorted the emissions tests performed in the US using a data faker software, as revealed by the EPA, the Environmental Protection Federal Agency .

Originally, this computer program was not for cheating. For security reasons, it was installed by default on all modern vehicles of the planet so that cars can pass the tests of test benches .

When the hood and the doors are open or the rear wheels locked on control benches, auto driving assistance systems interpret the artificial running of the vehicle as a dangerous situation. The computer program then imposed on manufacturers toggles the car a “road mode” to a “test mode” automatically. A software company that Volkswagen was quick to reconfigure to activate discreetly during controls, an internal mechanism for limiting polluting gases. This fixing device, moreover, would be inoperable under actual driving conditions when performance granting the vehicle worthy of a scooter. Back on the road, “neither seen nor known I confused you,” the anti-pollution combines deactivates and the vehicle finds its power in the atmosphere releasing plumes of pollutant gases, up to 40 times the standards force, the report says the US agency. Volkswagen fraud “ is just the tip of the iceberg ,” adds the European NGOs Transportation & amp; Surround , which estimates that a car in five in Europe, regardless of the brand, does not comply with emission regulations.
