Audi gasoline car "cheating" scandal reappears and has been sued
|
According to foreign media reports, the Volkswagen diesel car "cheating scandal" has fermented again. US regulators have found that at least six 3.0-liter gasoline models under Audi are equipped with "cheating" devices in emission tests. US law firm Hagens Berman has filed a lawsuit against Audi on behalf of more than 1 million users. The indictment filed in Chicago federal court on November 8 pointed out that Audi was accused of installing "cheating" software in emissions tests in 2003 or earlier in order to pass emissions tests. The models involved in Audi's "cheating" this time are A6, Q5, A8 and Q7. In May of this year, eight months after Volkswagen's diesel emissions cheating was exposed, Audi managers also encouraged the installation of "cheating" software on gasoline models. The indictment states that the cheating software in gasoline vehicles can identify the test environment and then automatically switch to "low emission" mode, while the algorithm-based cheating device in diesel vehicles will display the true data of vehicle emissions. An Audi user complained in the lawsuit that "artificially reducing the engine's revolutions per minute and standardizing the program can effectively tamper with the vehicle's emissions and fuel economy, so that it shows low fuel consumption and low carbon dioxide emissions." Hagens Berman, a US law firm, is in charge of the gasoline car cheating lawsuit. Steve Berman, a lawyer at Hagens Berman, said, "One year after Volkswagen's diesel emissions cheating was exposed, Audi chose to continue using cheating software to deceive consumers. This behavior of blatantly defying federal environmental regulations and undermining consumer expectations will not be tolerated." Consumers thought these cars were environmentally friendly luxury cars, so they paid a higher price. But the fact is that consumers bought illegal vehicles that did not meet emission standards and received only empty promises. VW spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan and Audi spokesman Mark Clothier declined to comment on the lawsuit. Two weeks ago, Volkswagen Group reached a $14.7 billion agreement with U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer on 480,000 2.0-liter diesel vehicles. The agreement is of great significance to Volkswagen. So far, Volkswagen has not yet given a specific solution to the 560,000 vehicles in the United States that exceed emission standards. Volkswagen is facing not only lawsuits from shareholders and environmental protection departments of various US states, but also investigations from the US judicial department and the European government. In the end, it may also be sued by owners of 3.0-liter diesel cars.
