summary
Environmental Protection Agency is about to order a recall of VW products after VW had admitted cheating in diesel emissions test.
VW told that the automaker is currently working on the acceptable fix for diesel models.
Despite the scandal over the diesel engine vehicles, the VW reported that its sales have been surprisingly increasing.
VW increased its sales up to 0.6% in the US, 7.4% combined with the sales of Audi U.S. in spite of their suggestion about the sales.
The company said it will take several months to get the bottom of the scandal regarding it’d cheated on around 11 million diesel vehicles.
my opinion
I never forgive this scandal for three reasons.
The first reason is that the VW is highly trusted from its customers. Therefore, I think it is necessary to provide a product that is reliable and trust worthy.
Cars are not products we can buy with low price. We have to pay a lot of money in order to buy it, so we have to be able to purchase a car with safety, and fairness.
Furthermore, this scandal affects not only on its customers trust that but also the environment. This product is widely used in Europe. Exhaust fumes have negative effects on the environment. We have to do things that are good for the environment.
Last but not least, the scandal will have negative impact on other car companies besides VW. For example, Mazda also sells the diesel engine vehicles. People who don’t have any knowledge about the diesel engine would think of it is spread widely, its marked will surely shirink.
