'The Emissions Scandal' continued

According to a recent study Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi are all proven to emit more pollution on the road than in the emission tests. Although none of the companies have been shown to use a specific device for this, like Volkswagen did, there is clearly something suspicious here.

The emission scandal is not over...

The most likely scenario being that the carmakers have designed specific 'one-off' cars to perform better in these tests; obviously to look better than their actual cars that go on sale; some of these emitting up to 20 times more pollution than the ones used for the test.


Although these companies are not quite as at fault as Volkswagen, because they didn't blatantly use a specific device to manipulate the tests, it is still certainly a big deal and a lot of customers will feel that their trust has been betrayed.
