“Car test with consequences”
Süddeutsche Zeitung
Technicians from Germany’s largest automobile club ADAC have found in recent tests that older VW Golf models can have a much higher fuel use than purported and, therefore, also higher CO2 emissions, Thomas Fromm writes in the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Up to 30 out of 53 of the tested cars were emitting too much CO2 when the transport ministry checked. The ministry has not yet made these results public, saying it has to repeat the tests with new cars first. It is not clear when the results will be made available, the author says.
