The news jumped early in the morning. Porsche, whose parent is the VAG group, could have manipulated some of its models to achieve the respective homologation with a good grade. If confirmed, could mean the formulation of a new Dieselgate in another of the brands of one of the largest holdings in the world.
Some tests could have modified the telemetry of the engine when they were subjected to the respective tests in which the measurements are made. The company, by means of an electronic mail, already has affirmed that this is completely false and that they will be able to detail the whys of such argumentations but even so, should there be a suspicion?
Taking into account that the groups take advantage of the synergies between the different brands, in these terms if it could be a reliable source offered by the Automotive News Europe media. However, it is still early to lean towards one or another position. Now, why have this climate of suspicion been activated?
The doubts could focus on the Bavarian company
Apparently, the technicians responsible for carrying out the respective measurements of toxic gases would have seen how the parameters changed depending on whether the Porsche unit was subjected to a rolling test or if it was done statically.
In fact, this triggered the alarm of the employees because the so-called trick of the Volkswagen engines already occurred when the software of the car detected that it was not rolling. On that occasion, a piece camouflaged next to the ECU prevented that a part of the particles were detected by the machines.
In this case, the modification would be located next to the address. Therefore, once the OS of the automobile in question had to pass a test, it would know immediately if a force was exerted on the steering wheel. If it does not exist, the system that would allow a reduction in the emission of toxic particles would be activated.
For this reason, we must be attentive to see what happens in the next few hours. For the good of the company, we hope that this is simply a rumor. Otherwise, they should already be thinking of inventing a good excuse if they want to get rid of burning fines.
