They were going to have good fuel economy. They were going to have good Engine Performance. Can you guarantee that any fix you make to the vehicles doesnt affect fuel economy or fuel performance are both . At this time if we correct the knox the emission standards, the customer will get the mpg. Thats my current understanding of whether the full performance of the car, this is something they said in germany, maybe top speed that might be one or two Miles Per Hour might be missing but this is of course something which we will share with the agencies that current understanding is that the customer will keep the miles per gallon. The concern i have is when you buy one of these cars you are relying not on only the Commission Says that the performance is good. I think you get to the issue of damages. In other words, if im an owner and the fix doesnt achieve good performance, good fuel mileage then im going to expect to become a sit in somewhat if thats not the case. I just remain concerned
About before. In may of 2014, independent researchers published a report that identity higher than expected emissions which prompted investigations by the ep epa. When did vw first become aware of this researche. End of april, when it was published. I got it in may, i got information about this. What steps did vw take to evaluate the conclusions of the research at that time. First of all, to acknowledge that emission violations or higher emissions are not legal. Secondly, the engineering departments were supposed to recheck those testing results on our own equipments in order to validate this. And thirdly, to correct this with the respective software actions which have been implemented at the end of last year . Who implemented this, and who was responsible for it . Indeed the Software Applications management are being done in germany at the engine and drive Time Department within the research and development division. Okay. The epa describe a series of presentations or discussions with
And while it is not unimaginable there might be some sort of drama or some sort of gamesmanship about the scheduling of the state of the union at a time like this particularly given the house of representatives led by nancy pelosi just formally recommended to the senate that the senate should remove President Trump from office and make him no longer president. I mean you might imagine that the state of the union and its scheduling could be a source of controversy at a time like this, at a fraught moment like this. In fact, actually seems to have gone off without a hitch. Nancy pelosi sent this brief letter to the white house today inviting President Trump to deliver his state of the union on february 4th. And what do you know, no muss, no fuss, the white house responded immediately, yes, the president will accept. Ding. Now, theres still the possibility that that means the president will be delivering his state of the Union Address in the middle of his Senate Impeachment trial. We dont
