The Groupe PSA, which includes Peugeot, Citroen, Opel, and Vauxhall, has had its hands full after acquiring Opel and Vauxhall. The transition hasn’t been as smooth as expected and now the company is facing legacy emission problems after a fiery French newspaper revelation.
Around 2 million PSA Group vehicles have been outfitted with “suspect” software (suspected defeat devices, that is), according to the findings of a French investigation into the matter the newspaper Le Monde has reported.
The vehicles in question were apparently all Peugeot and Citroen models, according to the investigation.
Following earlier news that France’s DGCCRF has apparently found that Renault has been involved in diesel vehicle emissions testing manipulation for around 25 years now, the French consumer watchdog organization has revealed that a similar investigation into Opel has come up empty.
In other words, no evidence was found that Opel has been involved in the manipulation of diesel vehicle emissions testing.
Yet another of the top auto-manufacturers in Europe, Renault, is now facing a criminal investigation in France related to possible diesel emissions test manipulation, according to recent reports.
