Lawrie Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 According to my source at Volkswagen, this just means that engines will have to have zero emissions by 2030, and the current Golf has already been made to comply 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonPeffers Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 After the emissions debacle and lawsuits I guess testing will very soon have to done independently of manufacturers as too many times, ways around the test have been used. As with very dubious Mpg figures, which manufacturers quote in sales blurb, the consumption is sometimes achieved with parts removed (ie. wing mirrors, seats and even the brakes as not needed on a rolling road) and doors taped up-----just the way I use my car then?! From what I have read it seems larger engines like 2.0 ltr can be made to meet new regs. but smaller diesels are likely to disappear.

Northwarks Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think the Netherlands are going down the same route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombanks Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Presumably it will be new cars? By emissions do they mean all emissions or just the few that are deemed to be crappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
