Vauxhall repeats emission cheat denial following BBC Panorama allegations

VAUXHALL has repeated its statement that none of its models are fitted with emission defeat devices after the BBC’s Panorama programme said a car it tested did not meet EU emission rules.

The Panorama documentary was shown last night and showed a Zafira Tourer Ecoflex being tested  at a facility in the Czech Republic and producing emission figures higher than allowed under European regulagtions.

A VW Passat was also tested and showed VW’s defeat device in action, with the Passat showing different NOx emissions outputs when the car was run on a ‘hot test’.

Vauxhall said: ‘We suspect that the vehicle tested (Zafira 1.6 diesel) was not performing correctly and/or the test execution was not correctly set up.

‘In order that Panorama did not potentially draw the wrong conclusions from their testing we requested full test reports and data from the testing including how the vehicle and test was set up, the technical state of the vehicle and details of the pre-conditioning of the vehicle which is necessary to achieve a stabilised condition for the test.

‘Panorama has refused to share information on the technical accuracy of the test prior to the broadcast.’

Vauxhall stands by its previous statement that its vehicles do no have any feature that detects that a vehicle is undergoing an emissions test, including any feature that would respond to wheels turning.

The company’s statement added: ‘Vauxhall products comply with all regulatory requirements, including the in-service emissions testing program, according to EU rules. These requirements are periodically audited by the approval authority.’
