The companies were found to have planned to intentionally restrain emissions-cleaning technology on their diesel-powered cars. Specifically, Korean officials reported finding that the automakers agreed to adopt a dual-mode selective catalytic reduction software system back in 2006 which reduced the amount of diesel exhaust fluid used to curb NOx emissions. South Korea’s antitrust regulator announced a total combined fine of 42.3 billion won ($33.48 million). According to an Epoch Times article, which quotes Shin Dong-yeol, head of the investigation for the KFTC, as saying: “The three carmakers had an agreement so that not a single company would make more eco-friendly (diesel) cars using a single-mode system.” Source: https://www.theepochtimes.com/south-korea-fines-german-automakers-for-rigging-diesel-car-emissions_5046378.html?welcomeuser=1 Subscribe Our Weekly Newsletter Total 0 Shares Share 0 Tweet 0 Pin it 0 Share 0
