Bringing It Upon Oneself, US Court Reveals Volkswagen "Emissions Gate" Planning and Execution Details

Coverage from盖世Auto According to new information released from new lawsuits in New York and Manchester in the United States, Volkswagen AG has developed six generations of cheating software in total to help it successfully pass emissions tests. Not only that, the company also estimated the economic costs it would have to pay after the wrongdoing was exposed, and after finding that it could still make a profit, the company started cheating on emissions tests until the "Dieselgate" scandal broke out.

Through calm calculation, deliberate consideration and continuous careful arrangement, Volkswagen's senior management and engineers falsified data with the cheating software, deceiving American car buyers and American authorities. This article reveals the entire story of the "Dieselgate" incident.

New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced this Tuesday that the authorities have brought five civil lawsuits against Volkswagen, which can be called the largest scandal in the 130-year history of the automotive industry.
