Diesel models fail emissions tests

samedi 23 avril 2016 à 02:00

93 different diesel cars tested recently in Europe all failed emissions tests in real driving, even though they did not have specific "defeat devices" to cheat.

What they do have are systems that have many tunable parameters: enough that it is possible to tune them to reduce emissions under the sort of conditions found in the test, while increasing performance at the cost of excessive emissions in other circumstances.

There would be less pressure to create this sort of problem if the state's method for bringing about greenhouse gas emissions were a general carbon tax instead of specific measures such as "Make more diesel cars." However, the way to end this particular abuse is to test car emissions by real driving.
