The ‘auxiliary device emission control’ in question operates separately from already caused controversy

Washington, United States (15 / Oct / 2015) .- Volkswagen revealed to US regulators that its diesel models 2016 also include a software that could help their vehicles to emit fewer emissions control tests.

The “auxiliary device emission control” in question operates separately from controversial device included in the models 2009 to 2015 and whose use for handling emissions tests revealed last month.

According to the company, the newly unveiled software makes the pollution control catalyst warm up faster, improving the performance of the device that separates the pollutant nitrogen oxide and oxygen and nitrogen becomes harmless gases.

The spokeswoman Volkswagen (VW), Jeannine Ginivan, said the new problem with vegetables 2016 was revealed last week to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Regulators week.

The EPA and Resources Board California Air have not yet determined whether the code is a manipulator device specifically installed to falsify emissions tests, said Janet McCabe, Acting Deputy Administrator of air quality in the EPA.
