Η VW ανακοίνωσε πριν από λίγο πως κανένας diesel κινητήρας της οικογένειας EA288, είτε τεχνολογίας Euro 5, είτε τεχνολογίας Euro 6, δεν εξοπλίζεται με το παράνομο λογισμικό, βάζοντας έτσι τέλος στις πρωινές αναφορές του πρακτορείου Bloomberg. Η Volkswagen, όπως αναφέρει στην ανακοίνωσή της, οι EA288 Euro 5 και Euro 6 κινητήρες που κυκλοφορούν στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση, συμμορφώνονται πλήρως με τις νομικές απαιτήσεις και τα περιβαλλοντικά πρότυπα.
Η Γερμανική εταιρία τονίζει για ακόμη μια φορά πως εργάζεται πυρετωδώς ώστε από τον Ιανουάριο του 2016 να ξεκινήσει τις επιδιορθώσεις/αναβαθμίσεις των Euro 5 ΕΑ189 κινητήρων της (1.2 TDI, 1.6 TDI και 2.0 TDI) σε 11 εκατ. αυτοκίνητά της.

Volkswagen confirms: EA288 engines designed for EU5 and EU6 are not affected
- Thorough appraisal of the Diesel emissions issue
Volkswagen confirms today that no software constituting an improper defeat device as defined in law is installed in vehicles with EA 288 EU5 as well as EU6-engines in the European Union. Consequently, new vehicles of the Volkswagen Group offered within the European Union with those engines comply with legal requirements and environmental standards.
Volkswagen AG is systematically reviewing this issue worldwide. The group strives for a holistic solution for complying with the respective valid standards.
After thorough examination it is now confirmed that no software constituting an improper defeat device as defined in law is installed in vehicles with EA 288 EU5-engines. Before, Volkswagen Group has confirmed that new EU6-compliant vehicles offered within the European Union fulfil all legal requirements and environmental standards.
Volkswagen customers can visit the corporate websites such as www.volkswagen.de/info, which was set up on October 2, 2015 and enter the chassis number of their vehicle to find out straight away whether their vehicles are affected. Similar customer websites are active in the other EU countries and for the Audi, SEAT and Škoda brands.
Work on the technical solutions detailed in the plan of measures is currently proceeding at full speed. Remedial action on the vehicles will begin in January 2016 – at no cost to customers. The measures are currently being developed for each affected series and each affected model year and will first be presented to the responsible authorities. Volkswagen will subsequently inform the owners of these vehicles over the next weeks and months.
