Bosch: All German Car Manufacturers Deliberately Deceived Authorities And Car Buyers For Years
Data leak at Bosch - Dieselgate makes new headlines
An explosive data leak is causing a stir, especially among German car manufacturers. In recent weeks, explosive documents have been leaked from the German company Bosch, which manufactures control units for car manufacturers all over the world.
They show that all major German car manufacturers have actively ordered control units with illegal defeat devices from Bosch, i.e. devices with which the manufacturers deceived the authorities and buyers about the actual emission values.
Even companies like Mercedes, which have so far denied involvement in the emissions scandal, are proven to be involved here. It is proven that Bosch informed the car manufacturers in conferences about the risks of misuse of their software in the control units and pointed out that misuse would violate the law.
It is not surprising that exactly this software was later found in many of the manufacturers' vehicles. Software with which the manufacturers could deceive the authorities in their approval tests about the true value of their emissions. Accordingly, many of the emission values in later extensively tested vehicles were 3-6 times as high as legal regulations allowed.
The documents fit accordingly into the overall picture of the scandal. Moreover, they make it even easier to pursue claims for damages, as the manufacturers are currently still claiming that they did not know that the software in many engines was inadmissible. A circumstance that can now be dispelled by the documents. For the manufacturers knew exactly about the legal problems from the documents.
The fact that they nevertheless installed the software shows that the German car industry wanted to make as much money as possible out of a diesel engine that was no longer profitable, at the expense of the buyer. This is precisely the kind of behaviour that triggers claims for damages.
