Answer 15

No some do some dont But the one that VW built into the car was lying. thier cars are honest and the ones that don't have one get plugged into a big machine. When VW car where tested by a no biased external tester the reading did not match u because VS software lyed to make the car meet EU and American emission rules. but only for the diesel cars not the petrol ones

Answer 16

@Adi3: So, you've already tried Google as a way of getting more info? What did you find? You say you "need more info." To be fair to others trying to help you, tell us what you already have on hand.

What particular aspect of VW the company are you interested in? VW is one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world, so you'll need to be specific about what you want to know.

@Adi3: So, you've already tried Google as a way of getting more info? What did you find? You say you "need more info." To be fair to others trying to help you, tell us what you already have on hand.

What particular aspect of VW the company are you interested in? VW is one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world, so you'll need to be specific about what you want to know. For example: how did the concept of "the people's car" originate? How did the availability of a low-cost, quality car affect the average German family? What sets VW cars apart from other cars? In what ways has VW as a company grown and re-focused since its inception?

Answer 25

for 2nd part

Answer 26

It's been dubbed the "diesel dupe". In September, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that many VW cars being sold in America had a "defeat device" - or software - in diesel engines that could detect when they were being tested, changing the performance accordingly to improve results.
For the past six years, Volkswagen has been cheating on the emissions testing for its diesel cars. The cars' computers were able to detect when they were being tested, and temporarily alter how their engines worked so they looked much cleaner than they actually were It was researchers at private labs in the United States and Germany that eventually outed Volkswagen.
VW is told to recall 482,000 cars in the US after it is caught deploying sophisticated software to cheat emissions tests and let its cars produce up to 40 times more pollution than allowed.

Answer 27

3rd part

Answer 28

"My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group - by leaving no stone unturned," Mr Mueller said on taking up his new post. The German car giant has since admitted cheating emissions tests in the US.

VW starts showing some contrition and orders an external investigation. The then chief executive, Martin Winterkorn, says he is “deeply sorry”.
VW now admits there are 11 million cars worldwide fitted with its defeat devices. Winterkorn says he is “endlessly sorry” but insists he will not resign. The US chief, Michael Horn, says the company “totally screwed up”.
VW appoints Porsche chief Matthias Müller as group chief executive.
The carmaker blames the scandal on a “small group” of people and says a small number have been suspended.
