The Globe has not covered the latest Audi diesel fraud news from Der Spiegel implicating current Audi boss Rupert Stadler.  In 2008, engineers found they would need an 80 litre urea tank to properly treat exhaust for 10000 km in their 3.0 litre diesel vehicles.  The marketing team rejected this so a 2-mode cycle beating approach was adopted.  Test mode eliminated over 90% of NOx.  In normal mode less urea would be used and more NOx emitted  Audi started cheating. VW, Porsche started cheating.  Soon all European diesel makers were violating at least the spirit of emissions laws in order to compete.  Now the air in London, Paris, Munich, Rome and other cities is polluted and tens of thousands die every year from pollution-related lung disease.  Amoral, unethical behaviour from a company with the moto "Truth in Engineering"!  Who knows what other frauds lurk in the software of Audi products?
