Mercedes Reportedly Sold Over A Million Vehicles By Cheating Emission Tests by AutoJoshNG: 6:29pm On Jul 17, 2017
Munich newspaper “Sueddeutsche Zeitung” has sighted a search warrant issued by a court in Stuttgart against Daimler. The revered automaker is being accused of selling over a million diesel vehicles with excess emissions.. Similar to Volkswagen.

The focus is on four-cylinder OM651 and 3.0-liter V6 OM642 engines.. and prosecutors are trying to determine if the company used emission cheating devices as well.

If found guilty, the effect may be catastrophic as Volkswagen is still paying out hundreds of millions of dollars.

According to a Daimler spokesperson who was interviewed by Reuters, he stated that the report was simply “speculation.”

The company is also being investigated by the Department of Justice, the Environmental Protection Agency in USA and they are cooperating with all investigators.

This is very possible. Could it just be that this manufacturers have run out of ideas on how to fit and invent more emission sensors. Perhaps that could just be a more reason why they all are claiming to go fully electric soon

All these large corporations are always involved in one unscrupulous practice or another.

Daimler should be fined heavily if found culpable. A trillion dollars in fines will be just fine.

That Euro 4 is causing a lot of trouble in the automotive industry.
The CBR 600 would be discontinued by honda because they just can't design a replacement 599cc engine to replace the current item and keep the performance of improve on it.

The auto manufacturers especially the Germans marques have been struggling to increase innovation while also keeping the emissions down for their top selling models , most people in Europe buy 2.0 diesels for mid sized sedans followed by the 2.5-3.0 diesels models so those engine capacities are under lots of scrutiny

Thing is emmission levels are becoming harder to achieve while maintaining the cars performance. Also there are tax and energy reductions the consumer can get if they buy so-called emmission free cars. For example in the Nether;ands the difference can be paying 4% instead of 22% on a car that cost EUR 60 k, so you see the issue, not to talk of other taxes.

Oh Dear! Benz Daimler

Can a diesel engine ever be emission compliant? Fuel itself is very heavy to burn and has to go through pressure to assist it burn. However its bi-product still can't be broken down by catalyst converters...

I guess this scam if well looked into every automobile industry has cheated somehow.
