THE EXCESS AIR POLLUTION VW VEHICLES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AFTER CHEATING ON US EMISSIONS TESTS.

Volkswagen’s admission of rigging of over million cars to arti cially report lower emissions have understandably angered customers around the world for the personal e ects of owning a less economical vehicle, but more broadly, it also means that the company has added an extra million tons of greenhouse gasses and pollution to the world’s atmosphere. This value is approximately equivalent to the collective yearly emissions of all the power stations across the United Kingdom. , VW and Audi cars have been recalled in the US for having the dodgy tech, which only reduced emissions results during test conditions.
