press Release from Nissan about accusations from the government of South Korea

the government, however, south Korean decided that the 1.6-litre engine is equipped with a system that allows to reduce the NOx emission during the tests, releasing more NOX when this is turned off in the mode of normal driving. The model in question is the nissan Qashqai 1.6 dCi manufactured in the Uk, whose sales were prohibited and forced the collection of 814 units.

I Remind you that Nissan had been fined close to € 350 billion in 2016, after having been accused of having falsified emissions testing. The accusation that the Nissan refuted, that comes later to render the minister of environment of South Korea.

After the Dieselgate in the united states, the Korean authorities have decided to try out, autonomously, in real conditions of 20 diesel models, and it is believed that the accusations now being judged in the court connected to the EGR valve, that stops working when the temperature reaches 35 degrees. On this, the Korean authorities have made it clear that "some cars turn off the systems anti-pollution when the temperature reaches 50 degrees, to prevent the bike from overheating and severe damage to the mechanics. This is normal. The nissan Qashqai is the only one that hung up the systems just to 35 degrees."
