Praise for the VW of the EU

Meanwhile, the EU has drawn consumers Commissioner Vera Jourova a positive interim balance sheet of the Volkswagen promised repairs to the Diesel scandal. “Volkswagen has fulfilled the plan of action broadly,” said Jourova on Monday in Brussels. Around 80 percent of VW’s planned Updates for up to 8.5 million vehicles in the EU are now done, more than is the case with such recalls in the auto industry. In Germany the Rate is even at 96 percent, in Romania only 36 percent.

Also, Volkswagen had been promised the repairs until the end of 2020 free. It was a good message, praised Jourova. “Consumers who have not yet managed to repair their cars, can do still.”

However, Jourova criticized the group. The EU-Commission regret that VW wanted to give a full warranty for the completed repairs. Although the company had met the 2016 under pressure from the EU-Commission Commitments largely, doing it through a strategy according to the Motto “think small”: “The Slogan from the year 1959 was a new car model, not for the attitude of the world’s leading car manufacturer-to-consumer,” said Jourova.
