Piechociński to ask Volkswagen on emissions scandal

Janusz Piechociński, the Minister of the Economy said he will investigate if Volkswagen manipulated emissions tests in Poland, like it did in the US, the Polish Press Agency (PAP) reported citing the minister. "Firstly, I will tell the Polish embassy in the US to collect detailed information regarding the matter. Secondly, I will turn to Volkswagen directly and ask if in Europe and in Poland such phenomena have occurred," Piechociński told PAP. Volkswagen has admitted cheating emissions tests in the US. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), some cars being sold in America had devices in diesel engines that could detect when they were being tested, changing the performance accordingly to improve results.
