German car manufacturer, named Volkswagen installed emissions-cheating devices in many of their diesel models in 2015. This fooled testers into believing that their vehicles were low-polluting and safe for sale in the UK and abroad. Whereas, when this was revealed and retested the vehicles were then found to be extremely polluting.
What is the diesel emissions scandal?
Before they can be sold, all new vehicles must pass pollution tests. In 2014, testers discovered that several car manufacturers had installed software in their cars that tricked these tests. This is now known as the ‘Diesel Emissions Scandal,’ or ‘Dieselgate.’
