Fiat Chrysler First Company Caught Under New EPA Emissions Tests

摘要

Improved emissions testing procedures established in the wake of Volkswagen's diesel cheating scandal were responsible for catching similar possible violations in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. vehicles, the Environmental Protection Agency said. Whether further violations will be uncovered as a result of the new testing protocols is unclear, but the EPA's Jan. 12 announcement that it had issued a notice of violation to Fiat Chrysler represents the first time the agency has spoken publicly about the results of its new evaluation process, Drew Kodjak, executive director of the International Council on Clean Transportation, which helped uncover the Volkswagen scandal, told Bloomberg BNA.
