Has Porsche Deceived Car Buyers?
On the test bench, the car consumes significantly less fuel than in regular operation, and carbon dioxide emissions are also reduced by manipulation. For example, Porsche is said to have obtained the approval of various vehicle types with false information and at the same time deceived the customers.

Has Porsche Deceived Car Buyers?
Porsche moves into the focus of the public prosecutor's office because of possible manipulation of fuel consumption. "We have initiated a preliminary investigation," said a spokeswoman for the Stuttgart public prosecutor of the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" according to the preliminary report. "There is a suspicion that, due to manipulation during certification measurements, Porsche AG vehicles did not have an effective type approval, that buyers were misled about their actual consumption and that tax evasion occurred as a result of indirect perpetrators." Four people were accused. The investigators' allegations relate to the years 2007 to 2017. The magazine "Business Insider" previously reported that the sports car manufacturer belonging to the Volkswagen Group had manipulatively throttled the consumption and thus the carbon dioxide emissions of gasoline engines of older models on the test bench. Porsche employees had told the internal audit department that different gears were used in the transmission of test vehicles than in series production, the magazine reported. As a result, a lower fuel consumption was recorded during type approval than in road use. Porsche said the investigation initiated by the car manufacturer itself in cooperation with the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) is still ongoing. In individual cases there may be deviations from the series status. It is about vehicles that were developed a few years ago. "There is no evidence that vehicles in ongoing production are affected," added Porsche. According to the KBA, it concerns gasoline engines that were produced for the European market before 2017. At the end of August, the KBA announced that it had not found any deviations from the type approvals for gasoline engines from current production. The temporarily suspended type approvals became valid again.İLGİLİ HABERLER
