France’s environmental office says its on-road tests of 52 diesel vehicles found some that emitted “significantly” greater pollutants than allowed by EU regulations. It found no devices to cheat on certification emission tests.
The ministry tested a random selection of diesels representing 15 brands from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Opel, PSA Group, Renault and Volkswagen.
France’s results mirror similar test findings in Germany that confirm the widely recognized gap between lab tests and on-the-road emission levels. The EU plans to add real-world emission testing in September 2017 but will allow a narrower gap in emission results between the two for at least several more years.
