_57bk··on Volkswagen Chief Martin Winterkorn Resigns Amid Emissions Scandal
The lack of time and/or resources to enforce these limits: a bug or a feature? Certainly a sin of omission.
_57bk··on Volkswagen Chief Martin Winterkorn Resigns Amid Emissions Scandal
In July, France 2 (the #1 public national television channel in France) released a documentary [0] that showed to which extent the French auto manufacturer PSA lied about NO2 emissions.

At 1h19s [1], Pierre Macaudière, head of emission control systems at PSA, admits that the model tested emits 1700 ppm of NO2, after measuring 200 ppm (the legal limit) with their own machines.

At 1h17m11s [2], the researchers commissioned by the EU shows the journalist that not one manufacturer respects the legal limits of 200 ppm. He's frightened to tell the journalist that it's all just a widespread fraud.
