In light of the ongoing assertions from
the Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH), a non-government organisation, and
the related speculation, Daimler AG once again clearly states that:
We categorically deny the accusation of
manipulating emission tests regarding our vehicles. A defeat device,
a function which illegitimately reduces emissions during testing, has
never been and will never be used at Daimler. This holds true for
both diesel and petrol engines. Our engines meet and adhere to every
legal requirement.
In light of the written request by the
DUH, which was sent to us this morning with a deadline to respond by
3:00 pm (CET), and the seven questions they posed, we can confirm
that none of the allegations apply to our vehicles. The technical
programming of our engines adheres to all legal requirements.
We have no knowledge of measurements
that indicate our vehicles did not meet legally required standards.
We actively support the work being done
within Europe and Germany in order to develop new testing methods
which measure emissions based on real driving conditions.
We work closely and constructively with
the responsible authorities in Germany, Europe and the United States
and will willingly provide any vehicle for testing.
We’d like to point out that we are
evaluating our legal options pertaining to the approach taken and the
public assertions made by the DUH.
