VM Fuel Emissions

The recent Volkswagen fuel emissions fraud story has been in the news everywhere over recent weeks. Basically, under orders from the top executives at VW in Germany, engineers installed defeat devices to trick the required fuel emissions software into recording lower emissions levels than the cars’ engines actually produced. The lower recorded readings allowed the auto manufacturer to sell cars in North America that did not conform to current emissions control laws.
