MILAN – The agents of the fraud division of the French police have carried out in recent days a series of house searches in some production plants of Renault. The hypothesis is that certain investigative Renault diesel engines are equipped with software that allows you to avoid controls on emissions, a system, therefore, similar to that at the base of the Volkswagen scandal. The police have seized several PCs to executives. Following the explosion of the Volkswagen, Renault had promised to invest 50 million euro to ensure that the actual emission levels of its cars were in line with those recorded during testing. The title Renault has lost more than 10% on the stock market following the release of the news. The whole sector was live, including the Italian Fiat (Fca) in difficulty on the list in Milan on charges of falsifying sales data in the US and the collapse of deliveries in Russia. Dieselgate, what are the other houses outlaws? The Royal Minister explained that the group Fca not yet been subjected to the tests requested by the French Government to check the pollution levels of vehicles: tests conducted in October by an independent commission focused on 22 cars of eight different brands: Renault, PSA, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Ford, Opel and BMW. “The test will continue until you get to a sample of 100 vehicles” and four other manufacturers will be examined, namely Nissan, Volvo, Suzuki and Fiat. Through a note, then, Renault has explained that also “the Direction Générale de l’Energie et du Climat (Directorate General for Energy and Climate), pilot partner of the Technical Commission independently on behalf of the French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, believes the very d ‘ Now that the current proceedings do not record the presence of a rigged software installed on Renault vehicles. ” “The current test – continues the company – can now predict improvement solutions for both Renault vehicles that will come from establishments and for those in circulation, the Renault Group has decided to quickly form a Renault Emissions Plan, aimed at enhance the energy performance of our vehicles. In parallel, the DGCCRF has decided to make a piece of field research, intended to validate definitely the first elements of the Commission’s independent technical analysis registered ‘. However, a few weeks ago, a German NGO had pointed the finger at the levels of emissions of the new Espace on the market since last spring: three would be 13 and 25 times higher than the limits established by the regulations on the euro 6. The collapse of Renault bag he is brought to the bottom of the list also Psa: the market fears, in fact, that other manufacturers were objects of raids by the police.
Settlements searched are those of the engineering center of Lardy south of Paris, the Tecnocentro Guyancourt and those of Plessis-Robinson and Boulogne-Billancourt. Renault, for its part, has confirmed the searches, which according to the French press would result in an investigation launched by October, but assured that all the tests carried out at the request of Environment Minister Segolene Royal failed to show fraud ” There is no fraud, “the minister said. On the same wavelength also the holder of Economy, Emmanuel Macron that “the situation of Renault is in no way comparable to that of Volkswagen.” It should be remembered, however, that the French state is the largest shareholder with 15% of Renault’s capital, a share that reaches around 30% taking into account the voting rights.
