Volkswagen’s Emissions Scandal
The Volkswagen "diesel street" scams from 2015 stands as one of the most selfish examples of corporate fraud and management failure in modern history. The world's largest slot machine ended with a devastating revelation as a driving force: Volkswagen had deliberately installed the "necklace unity" software in 11 million diesel cars around the world to cheat on emission tests. This case is not just a story of technical deception, but a deep lesson in a toxic corporate culture, weak board inspection and tireless discovery of goals at all costs can cause terrible and financial injuries.
Physiology of a failure: How this happened The roots of the scandal were in 2008 a corporate strategy to promote attractive "pure diesel" technology in the attractive US market. Engineers quickly felt that they could not meet strict US emission standards (especially nitric oxide, or NOx) in a cost -effective way with existing techniques. Facing tremendous pressure to succeed with an impossible technical challenge and management, a group of engineers and leaders made a terrible decision: They developed software that could find that when a car was tested and temporarily reduced to low levels to reduce emissions. During normal driving, vehicles will emit up to 40 times from the pollutants' legal limit.
For almost a decade, of Deception regulators and, mostly serious, Volkswagen's own supervisory board was put out. It was not until 2015 that independent researchers at the University of West Virginia, who worked with International Council on Clean Transportation, deferred the deviation between the laboratory and the road test, trigger the investigation of EPA and the final C.
