Why did Volkswagen pay 9.8 billion in compensation to U.S. car owners?

Why did Volkswagen pay $9.8 billion in compensation to U.S. car owners? I don't know much about this.

I think the public naturally has their own reasons and their own ideas, and it is more terrible to borrow so much.

Volkswagen was founded in 1938 by the Volkswagen Group, headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, is the largest automobile company in Europe and one of the most powerful multinational companies in the world's automotive industry.

On September 18, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accused Volkswagen of installing software for exhaust emission testing on some of its diesel vehicles, claiming that it could identify whether the car was being inspected, and then secretly activate it during the inspection, so that the car could pass the "high environmental standards" during the inspection.

Volkswagen later appealed and failed, admitting that in its emissions test, there was cheating in using illegal software to pass the test.

Later, Volkswagen paid $9.8 billion in compensation to affected U.S. buyers in order to settle the "emissionsgate" scandal.

At the beginning, Volkswagen compensated $9.8 billion to American car owners, mainly because Volkswagen's exhaust emissions in the United States were unqualified, and Volkswagen used fraud when testing car exhaust, so it had to compensate American car owners.

Because Volkswagen failed its emission standards and caused injuries to American car owners, it had to be compensated.

In order to save its reputation, Volkswagen paid $9.8 billion in compensation to American car owners.

Volkswagen's counterfeiting of some parts caused a traffic accident and violated the rules of the industry, and of course it should be compensated.

That's because of the emissions gate incident, because his emissions are not qualified, and then sold to the United States, resulting in the loss of ** merchants and users. So give a certain amount of financial compensation.

Volkswagen's emissions fraud violates U.S. law, so it is necessary to compensate the American owners who bought Volkswagen cars.

Why would Volkswagen pay money to American car owners? Your Volkswagen's emissions are not up to standard, so you have to go to the United States.

There is some truth to the claim, although I don't understand, but there are defects, and the compensation for American car owners is 800 million dollars.

Because Volkswagen has a quality problem with its car products, it is like the owner of the United States to compensate so much money.

Because there is a problem with the quality of Volkswagen, according to the contract, the responsibility is who is compensated.

Volkswagen received the impact of the "emission gate" of the car, which led to the bad image of the automobile company, and in order to recover the image loss, it took a collective recall of some vehicles to compensate the owners.

Because the Volkswagen vehicle has a quality problem and does not meet American standards, it has to be compensated.

Because of U.S. law.

Coupled with the current China policy of the United States.

Therefore, the so-called "legal" means will be used to rob money.

Volkswagen's $9.8 billion compensation to U.S. car owners is a fraud in emission standards, and it is a fraud that should be severely punished.

Because Volkswagen may have some quality problems, it must have received US sanctions, so it must lose money to the Americans, because they are Germany's Germany, not as strong as the United States, so they have to lose money to the United States.

Because of the problems of Volkswagen itself, it has brought losses to the first merchants and users, and economic compensation will be given if it is not returned.

In 2015, Volkswagen was sued by the United States for data fraud in the exhaust emission process, and was later sentenced to pay a huge fine to the United States.

Since it is compensation, it means that there is a problem with the vehicle provided by Volkswagen. Of course, it also depends on whether the country that buys the car is strong and whether it has legal awareness. Because Volkswagen has false exhaust emission data and other safety risks, it needs to pay compensation.

Because the United States is a big country, the United States can do whatever it wants. Volkswagen is German, and they can't afford to mess with the United States, so if the United States wants them to lose money, they have to lose money, and if they don't lose money, they have to sanction them. They can't even sell cars, they don't earn a penny.

So they have to pay money to American car owners.

To solve the "emissionsgate" scandal.

This is a price that a large business has to pay for its reputation.

Many people may think that this amount is too high, you can buy it, I don't know how many cars, for a large enterprise, his goodwill is very valuable, and even his sales itself is achieved by Tangyu, so this compensation is very reasonable.

If there is a problem, you must be responsible to the end.

For risk control! Restore your brand image.

Volkswagen can be said to be the well-deserved top of the list in the Chinese market, and many people like the Volkswagen brand to be hard, durable, and affordable. However, on July 28, Volkswagen paid a rising price for the "emissionsgate" scandal, paying 9.8 billion US dollars (about 100 million yuan) in compensation to affected American car owners. Many netizens lamented that the amount of compensation is simply a sky-high price, but in fact, this is less than one-third of the total.

As early as 2015, Volkswagen's emissions exceeded the standard by West Virginia University and the Federal Clean Transportation Commission, which violated the U.S. Clean Air Act and wanted to conceal the true emissions. Volkswagen admits that diesel vehicles cheat in their emissions tests. After that, Volkswagen issued a statement agreeing to buy back or repair vehicles in the United States**.

According to statistics, more than 550,000 diesel vehicles with excessive pollution levels have been put on the US market. After Volkswagen's statement at the time, 86% of car owners in the U.S. market refused to refurbish the car and chose to return the car to Volkswagen.

Because Volkswagen's "emissionsgate" scandal affected American car owners, it will pay $9.8 billion in compensation to American car owners.

Because Volkswagen is suspected of detecting cheating, in order to calm the turmoil, the only way to solve it is to pay $9.8 billion in compensation to American car owners.

Volkswagen was compensated for the affected car owners because of the emissionsgate incident, and the U.S. ** department accused Volkswagen of cheating in the exhaust gas test of some of its diesel vehicles, which caused a great sensation.

Volkswagen has paid $9.8 billion in compensation to U.S. car owners.

On July 28, Reuters reported that the U.S. Federal ** Commission disclosed that Volkswagen had paid $9.8 billion in compensation to affected U.S. buyers to settle the "emissionsgate" scandal.

In 2015, the German Volkswagen Group exposed that some diesel cars were equipped with "cheating software" to deal with exhaust emission testing, and fell into the "emissionsgate" scandal.

Subsequently, Volkswagen admitted to cheating in its emissions tests using illegal software to pass the test, and agreed to buy back or repair 550,000 vehicles in the United States**.

Eighty-six percent of Volkswagen's U.S. customers chose to return their cars or terminate their leases rather than have them repaired. Volkswagen paid more than $9.5 billion to U.S. consumers, and Volkswagen seller Robert Bosch paid more than $300 million to U.S. consumers.

In 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice also indicted four managers of Audi who live and work in Germany for allegedly participating in a "conspiracy" to circumvent emissions testing of the 2009-2015 version of Audi models in the United States.

The four indicted managers include Richard Bauder, a former head of diesel engine development at Audid Darbüder; Axel Eiser, former head of engine development at Audi; Axel Eiser's successor, Stefan Knirs; and Carsten Nagel, an engine registration executive.

So far, Volkswagen has spent 30 billion euros ($33.3 billion) on fines, vehicle buybacks and other settlements triggered by the "emissionsgate".

Since Volkswagen has not sold diesel cars in China, Chinese consumers have not been involved in the "emissionsgate" fraud scandal. Volkswagen's global brand image has been damaged, and in order to protect and stabilize its position in the Chinese market, the Group's investment in the Chinese market may be more tilted.

Ren Wanfu, a senior automotive analyst, also said that the occurrence of the emission gate incident has actually strengthened Volkswagen's determination to deepen the Chinese market. He believes that "the Chinese market is the most important market for Volkswagen overseas, and the emissions gate incident has caused a lot of pressure on Volkswagen, and it wants to rely on the Chinese market to recover as soon as possible." ”
