Re: VW accused of 'rigging' emissions tests
Quote:
The UK Department for Transport has asked for details of a US probe into Fiat Chrysler diesel emissions software as a matter of urgency.
The car maker has been accused of not telling authorities about software that could allow excess diesel emissions.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said 104,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram trucks were affected.
The move comes as French investigators plan to probe Renault over suspected "cheating" in diesel emissions tests.
A Department for Transport spokesman said it was "urgently seeking further information" from the EPA as well as Fiat Chrysler about vehicles sold in the UK.
The government has ordered tests on a Jeep Grand Cherokee, he said. "Our priority is to protect the interests of UK consumers."

How many other manufacturers are up to cheating one wonders?
While they're investigating this they should also look at the scandalous MPG claims that can never be obtained in practice. Some models claim 40% better than in real driving.
