The storm also affects France with Renault – the Journal

The storm, which has invested Fiat expands in Europe. Now it is the turn of France, which has opened an investigation on the production of Renault with the objective of providing clarity on the alleged “forgeries on the substantive quality and the checks that have made the marketing of the car is dangerous for the health of man and animals”. After what happened in the course of 2016 it was logical to expect an offensive urged with force by Volkswagen, supported by the powerful German government, which did not accept the role of scapegoat in the first Dieselgate. Have accused virtually all competitors, on all the markets, Psa, Opel, and now you see the results.

Sergio Marchionne was waiting for him, the witness was an expression of his colorful in the course of a meeting with some shareholders of Fca: “we Expect a torpedo by germans”. The torpedo that came in the form of a complaint, still to confirm, arrived from the Us Epa, the us environmental protection agency. Yesterday is the effect of a latent war, under the smiles of prime ministers and chancellors, exploded after the September 18, 2015, when Germany has shown the world not to be a Country of first class respectful of the rules.

Caught with their hands in the cookie jar, industrialists and politicians have tried to involve in the scandal also other Houses, and what better victim of those scoundrels of Italian there might be? That the subject was delicate, and it was obvious the acceptance of emission limits more and more severe has brought all to the use of solutions to the limit or beyond the threshold of what is permissible, and Vw has chosen the stratagem evolved more and more to force the car to diesel is a Continent that always hates the diesel. That admits high emissions of Co2 from gasoline engines, but not concentrated solely on the oxides of nitrogen of the Tdi. If the european regulations provide 0.08 g/km NOx (were 0.18 Euro 5) americans tolerate for 0.07 grams per mile (about 0.04 per km), and the calculation is even more severe in California.

The first inquisitor is to the minister of Transport Alexander Dobrindt, who accuses the Fiat Group have not provided documentation to the commission of investigation regarding the approval of the 500 X. Coming to the state in may 2016: “If the Fca will continue to oppose the control of emission values, I do not exclude to prohibit the sale in Germany”.

Now the announcement of the irregularities yet to be confirmed in models that, unlike those Vw are specific to America, he detonated the joy of our eternal allies/rivals. If Bosch, the German industry that provides the power for the V6 accused does not release communications, the press rejoices.

The Bild newspaper cut it out and assimilates the case for the Fca to Dieselgate Volkswagen, while, in reality, the irregularities yet to be confirmed, however, are different, and closes with the words of Dobrindt: “I told you…”.
