As predicted, Mercedes, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi also have emissions an order of magnitude above "test" numbers
'......However, the emissions that have been manipulated also include the
oxides of nitrogen. And those are harmful, I think. However, I don't
really believe that different diesel cars differ so terribly much from
each other when it comes to NOx emissions. All of the diesel motors burn
the diesel fuel and it must chemically mean pretty much the same thing.'
To summarize, the only right reaction to this would-be "scandal" is to
allow much higher NOx concentrations for personal cars – or eliminate
the regulation on NOx in these products altogether – and admit that the
carmakers have behaved appropriately given the pressure to violate the
laws of physics that they were exposed to. Anything else is either a
deliberate attack by the Luddites on harmless technology – or the
industrial civilization in general; or a continuation of the practice in
which there will unavoidably be a huge gap between what is happening in
the real world and what people say or demand or write on the paper."
