Hows this for you guys, dieselgate expands to marine engines now... VW owns MAN

I.M. Skaugen has decided to publicize the case, filed in a Singapore court in July, because it sees similarities between MAN's handling of the ship engine tests under VW ownership and the German company's response to the biggest scandal in its 78-year history, caused by cheating diesel car emissions tests.

Once there is a crack, it spreads quickly. Increased scrutiny will reveal more lies and deceptions. It's just sad.

Shipping is the source of a lot of emissions too, so this compounded with the other scandal is starting to add up to a pretty significant amount of pollution.

Shipping is already the main source of pollution. Maybe if we could curb our appetite for cheap Chinese goods... but globalisation is a good thing, almost forgot

Ah this is fabulous... the wonderful folks that call themselves the American government are proposing that we allow automakers to pollute more for safer cars...

The proposal, contained in a 62-page draft bill written by the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Republican staff, would give automakers greenhouse gas emission credits of at least 3 grams of carbon dioxide per mile for a vehicle with three advanced safety mechanisms and 6 grams for a vehicle that communicates with other cars or highway infrastructure.

So are tail pipe emissions really that important if we're willing to use them as an incentive to get autonomous technology into cars... that makes me go hmm... like Cui Bono hmmm, who's benefiting?

Because from the rhetoric I've been hearing VW threatened ALL of our lives by polluting more then they said, so its not ok for VW to threaten all of our lives but it is ok for the American government to threaten our lives? Sorry boys either you stay consistent with your own rhetoric or you out yourselves as fraudulent...

Is it not a hypocrisy that the same government that wants to crucify VW for polluting more then they said they were wants to now use polluting more as a reward... FFS, just remember your government loves you...
