The Volkswagen has manipulated emissions test of its diesel car in the US. And cheated the amount of pollutant coming from VW diesel engines. The automotive critics say, the possible legal actions against VW in the US could cause huge financial loss to the company. However top executives are sitting together to deal with the situation, they made the apologetic move by taking the responsibility of the crisis. The chief executive Mr. Winterkorn said in a fresh apology, “endlessly sorry” for the manipulation.
Cars and the environment are two things, most of the Germans are concerned about and it is like a “national character”, it was a complete shock for the Germans to know, VW was rigging emissions tests for its diesel cars in the US, One of the automotive journalists argued.
One of the leading German newspaper has used a beautiful analogy to describe this fraudulent dilemma, the newspaper wrote, “It’s as if the British suddenly found out that the Queen had a hand in fixing the horse races at Ascot.
The most shameful act of the car history, it has saddened the whole nation and stabbed in the back of its customers. It is even more than stupidity, when you play with the customers’ expectations and trust, just to increase sales, how it sounds, when you pay a premium price for a green car and get a slap on your face in return. The company share prices have dropped down significantly in just two days after the story broke out.
