The “Drainage Door” incident continues to affect German car companies

According to a recent report by the German "Business Daily", the Volkswagen company's top management is likely to be known before the "emission door" incident, suspected of fraudulent consumers. The Braunschweig Procuratorate announced that it has sent the relevant files to the suspects and will file a lawsuit. A number of German auto companies have been involved in scandals due to exhaust emissions detection and fraud, which has a continuing impact on the German automotive industry.

In September 2015, US regulators disclosed that Volkswagen installed illegal software in the car and deliberately evaded the detection of US automobile exhaust emissions. The actual pollutant emissions of some vehicles can reach 40 times the legal standard. At that time, about 11 million cars were affected worldwide, and Volkswagen paid a fine of 22.6 billion euros (about 179 billion yuan) and vehicle maintenance costs.

Recently, the regulator once again disclosed that Volkswagen CEO Herbert Diss had been aware of the existence of illegal software two months before the scandal, and former president Martin Wendern also faced similar charges. In May of this year, the US federal court in Detroit filed a lawsuit against Wendeng. As mentioned in the 40-page prosecution file, Wendern was known to have manipulated the exhaust gas test in May 2014, but it was not until 16 months later that he was forced to admit this fact. Once confirmed to be in breach of duty in the “discharge gate”, Wendeng will face high public compensation claims.

In June of this year, Rupert Stadler, CEO of Volkswagen's Audi car, was also involved in the scandal and was arrested by the Munich Administrative Court for allegedly trying to destroy the evidence of the "emission door" incident. According to the Business Times report, the contents of the Munich Court of Appeals pointed out that Stadler knew that the vehicle exhaust emission detection system was passive, but turned a blind eye to it, still allowing the vehicle with the problem engine to be deployed and sold. Although Stadler resolutely opposed the allegations, the Munich District Court rejected his complaint.

Another German auto giant Daimler is also facing charges of exhaust emissions detection violations. According to Deutsche Bahn, Daimler was found to have installed emission data falsification devices in some models. Chairman of the board, Cai Che, was interviewed twice by the German Federal Ministry of Transportation. Transport Minister Andreas 朔il asked Daimler Le recalled 774,000 problem vehicles in Europe.

At the time when several German automakers were squandered by the “emissions gates”, their main competitor, the American automakers, was planning a “curve overtaking”. Volkswagen paid a fine for the US due to the “emission gate”, and several states in the United States have indicated that they will use the fine to support US companies to develop electric vehicles, such as the creation of new energy-driven campus buses, the development of electric buses and the establishment of electric vehicles. Charging piles, etc. Germany's "Focus·Fortune" magazine believes that this fine indirectly supports the transformation of the US automotive industry into electrification.

The automotive industry is an important pillar industry in Germany and a resounding sign of “Made in Germany”. Today, the “emission door” is pushing German car manufacturing to a turning point. In the face of fierce market competition, how to get rid of the scandal and regain the trust of consumers has become a problem that plagues many German car companies.
