Car emissions are considered as a huge legislative and environmental problem today. Volkswagen was a German car manufacturer that completely admitted that they faked their emissions data for about 11m of their vehicles that are sold in different parts of the world.
This is one of the reasons why Volkswagen is now facing million of mad customers, criminal prosecution and plummeting stocks.
It is a fact that car emission testing is a murky business in various parts of the globe and Volkswagen is not the only company that is taking the trust of their valued clients and lightly environmental regulations.
Here, you will know and learn about the 4 biggest misconceptions about Volkswagen emissions scandal. Check these out:
Misconception #1: Volkswagen cars were giving off loads of carbon dioxide
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Volkswagen cars were releasing between ten or forty times of acceptable levels of harmful pollution. This unsafe pollution refers to the level of NOx or also known as nitrous oxides.
According to some researches, NOx is bad for the human lungs. Apart from this, it can easily form smog and the molecules are involved in ozone formation.
Diesel engines that are present in Volkswagen cars are efficient since the entire carbon that is present in fuel is completely burned away. When it comes with petrol engines, the carbon leftover molecules like carbon and methane monoxide has the ability to burn away the nitrous oxides that are normally created by engine heat.
Furthermore, the diesel engines can give off nitrous oxides than the petrol engines.Due to its greater efficiency, diesel engines give less carbon emission.
Misconception #2: This is absolutely useless of part one
Car manufacturers should balance various types of pollution, emissions regulations, cost and efficiency once they design a certain car.
This is one of the reasons why it is unsurprising that they are very keen for the emission tests. In Europe, efficiency and emissions are less stringent compared in the Unites States.
Loopholes that were in the test will allow manufacturers to easily use the special lubricants, remove the wind mirrors, adjust brakes and tape the gaps to enhance the efficiency of the car before testing.
Misconception #3: This is completely unheard of part two
The diesel vehicles that were sold in the year 2008 are completely fitted with special DPF that is creatively designed to successfully stop the nitrous oxide from escaping.
But, once the filter is clogged, it can easily affect the car and at the same time it can also cause costly damage.
Misconception #4: Politicians are horrified and shocked by this scandal
Politicians on Europe and United States have encouraged them since they are devoted to wait onside with their car manufacturers.
Due to the Volkswagen scandal, the environment committee of Parliament of Europe has selected to introduce the new emissions tests by the year 2017.
Today, there are lots of used cars for sale in Dubai and new and used cars in UAE. It is true that hidden emission is a big problem and better estimates are highly needed.
