<p>[quote user="Overmod"]What is Volkswagen AG in particular planning to do about this?[/quote]</p> <p>If they get their will, nothing? The whole automobile industry refused to do more than software updates till now.</p> <p>I think the verdict is necessary to wake up the government. The Secretary of the Environment commented this verdict already. She said that bans are not necessary immediately as their other ways like strengthening of transit and retrofits by the manufacturers would help.</p> <p>On the other hand the city of Hamburg (which is a Federal state too) announced to close a number of highly polluted roads as soon as possible. That will be "fun" for those living along the detours and will most likely only shift the problems.</p> <p>I agree that bans are unfair as all diesel car owner bought their cars faithfully. That will hopefulle increase the pressure on Government and industry.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
