BMW、Mercedes和VW召回更新530萬輛柴油車 - BMW

德國當局與BMW、Mercedes和VW三家公司高層會面後

初步決定會以更新軟體的方式召回已出售的柴油車來降低 NOx 排放量 25~30%

這波軟體更新對象主要是歐5與歐6的柴油車款

其中約380萬輛來自VW

90萬輛來自Mercedes，30萬輛來自BMW

合計約530萬輛 (還有30萬輛哪來的新聞沒寫)


這項軟體更新有沒有強制力還不曉得，若是以軟體更新的方式來降低NOx排放

勢必會影響到車子的性能，若是政府沒有其他強制性的配套一起實施的話

應該會有很多車主不願意回廠去進行這一項軟體更新


這三大廠雖然爭取到了較省錢的方法不用進行硬體更新而是只要軟體更新就好

但若因此影響了車子的性能可能會因小失大失去自家車主的信賴

希望在台灣賣出的柴油車也能有同等待遇，而不是被當成次等人類對待....

BMW, Mercedes and VW agree on emissions software update for 5.3m cars

The move agreed with German authorities includes an incentive scheme for
owners to trade in their old car for a new, less polluting vehicle

A trio of German car makers have agreed to issue a software update on 5.3
million diesel cars to cut pollution levels by nearly a third.

BMW, Volkswagen and Daimler – the latter the parent company of Mercedes
– reached an agreement with German authorities to update 5.3million cars
with Euro5 and 6 diesel engines with a software tweak that will reduce
nitrogen oxide emissions by 25 to 30 per cent. No customer will be
charged for the update.

Of the 5.3 million cars, 3.8 million come from VW – of which 2.5
million have already been upgraded as part of the emissions scandal. A
further 900,000 Daimler vehicles will be involved, and 300,000 vehicles
from BMW.

The carmakers also agreed to set up an incentive scheme, where drivers of
older, more polluting models would be able to trade vehicles in exchange
for a new, low-emissions vehicle.

The move follows similar announcements made by Mercedes, Audi, Porsche
and VW. Last month, both companies announced they would issue a voluntary
software update on cars sold in Europe to improve their NOx emissions
under real world driving. Mercedes issued a ￡195m technical fix on three
million cars in Europe, while Audi, Porsche and VW said their update
would apply to 850,000 cars with the VW Group's V6 and V8 diesel engines.

BMW is offering owners across Europe an “environmental bonus of up to €
2,000,” for owners of Euro 4 or older diesels who trade in their car and
purchase a new BMW or MINI. According to BMW, the new car has to be
either a BMW or MINI fitted with Euro6 engine or electric and hybrid
technology.

Harald Krueger, chairman of the board of management at BMW said: "The
meeting [between BMW and German authorities] was an important step. We
support the initiative and are investing in the Sustainable Urban
Mobility fund. State-of-the art diesels will definitely play an important
role in future mobility, as well."
