Fiat Chrysler is improving emissions technology on current vehicles in wake of VW scandal
The news comes after the company finished an internal study of its own vehicles in the wake of the Volkswagen emissions scandal.
Bloomberg's Tommaso Ebhardt reported:
Fiat Chrysler claims the change is necessary to meet new testing procedures currently being mulled over by the European Parliament, which would more closely mimic real-world conditions.
The current proposal would actually increase emissions limits, but hopes that the new testing will deny manufacturers the ability to simply make their cars better at taking emissions tests while showing worse performance in real driving conditions.
The plan has thus far been called too permissive by the EU's environmental counsel, but has received support from automakers as well as several governments.
