A second emissions scandal rocked Volkswagen recently when it admitted that
carbon dioxide emissions and fuel economy figures were incorrect for 800,000
vehicles. Engineers at the automaker have now admitted to cheating on the
results, according to Reuters citing a report from Germany's Bild am Sonntag
. The employees claimed that former CEO Martin Winterkorn's emissions goals
were too hard to achieve, but the workers didn't want to tell their boss.
Winterkorn announced in 2012 that VW would reduce vehicle CO2 emissions by
30 percent by 2015 compared to 2006 levels, but the engineers weren't able
to perform the cuts. To artificially improve the results the workers raised
tire pressures and mixed diesel with the motor oil to make the vehicles use
less fuel. This deception occurred from 2013 through this spring, and it
only came to light when an employee revealed the cheating to his bosses at
the end of October, according to Reuters. | k****a
