Dieselgate: Who? What?How? September 2016 a study by In house analysis by Transport & Environment Published by Transport & Environment For more information, contact: Greg Archer Clean Vehicles Director Transport & Environment greg.archer@transportenvironment.org Tel: +32 (0)2 851 02 25 / +32 (0)490 400 447 / +44 (0)79 70 371 224 areport by 2 Executive Summary This report, released on the first anniversary of the Dieselgate scandal, exposes the shocking number of dirty diesel cars on the EU’s roads and the feeble regulation of cars by national authorities that have focused on protecting their own commercial interests or those of domestic carmakers. In the US, following the disclosure that VW had cheated emissions tests, justice has been swiftly and effectively delivered. This is in stark contrast to Europe where VW claims it has not acted illegally, no penalties have been levied and no compensation has been provided to customers. But the failure to penalize VW in Europe is the tip of the Dieselgate iceberg with an estimated 29 million grossly polluting modern diesel cars now in use, a number that is still growing. Over four in five cars that meet the Euro 5 standard for NOx in the laboratory (180g/1000km), and were sold between 2010-14, actually produce more than three times this level when driven on the road.
