Sometimes even the manufacturer themselves have to cheat to meet emissions regulations. VM Motori, VW, and Cummins will not be the only ones caught and the over tightening of emissions will eventually lead to the diesel’s death.
I think I missed the outrage…?
Everyone seems to forget that Stellantis was caught doing the same thing as VW just a few weeks after that story broke and was fined $300 Million.
That’s what I meant with VM Motori and they were also aware of the 6.7 Cummins cheating. I was not attacking these companies. I’ll bet you $$ the duramax and power stroke will do it if they aren’t already unless somebody makes a breakthrough with diesels. I think the EPA wants diesels gone.
This is the way!
For the most part, the emissions system isn't too complicated, however, it has the potential to nickel and dime you simply due to all the components. The DPF and SCR might last 300,000 miles, but the sensors, DEF pump, DEF injector, ECR, and ECR cooler might need to be changed out a few times in that period.
