Awake Goy Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi are producing cars which emit far more pollution on the road than they do in a lab, according to new tests.
The four car giants join Volkswagen on the growing list of companies whose diesel vehicles passed the EU’s official regulatory test in a laboratory setting, but fail to meet them in realistic driving situations.
On average, Emissions Analytics found the diesel vehicles they tested were four times the legal limit for nitrogen oxide (NOx).
According to the data, obtained by the Guardian, Honda models pumped out six times the limit, while other unnamed 4×4 models were releasing as much as 20 times the limit.
Nick Molden, of Emissions Analytics, told the Guardian the problems with VW diesel cars in the U.S. ‘threw a light on a slightly different problem’ in the EU – that of ‘widespread legal over-emissions’.
‘For NOx, [diesel] cars are on average four times over the legal limit, because of the lenient nature of the test cycle in the EU,’ he said.
