According to German "Spirit Magazine", German Federal Minister of Transportation Dobrindt has summoned Opel Company a few days ago on the results of the investigation and test of Opel Company by Spirit Magazine, Monitor magazine and the German Environmental Protection Association. "We will conduct further testing of Opel's cars," Dobrindt said.
Opel Chairman Karl-Thomas Neumann once made his position on the emission scandal to the Federal Ministry of Transportation, but the test results show that the exhaust purifier of the Opel Zafira model can only operate normally within the temperature range of 20-30℃.
It is reported that during the investigation, Spiegel and Monitor magazines found computer experts who successfully "blacked" into Opel's engine control system, and then discovered the exhaust gas control device that Opel secretly used. Opel has not reported this technology to the Ministry of Transport. Transport Minister Dobrindt said he had never heard of such exhaust gas control devices.
The Federal Ministry of Transport wants Opel to explain this. In this regard, Opel may use general explanations such as "our technology is not for deception and deception." At the same time, Opel also tried to fight back against adverse factors from the outside world: "Hackers do not understand the engine and cannot believe their one-sided words."
According to Spiegel, the German Environmental Protection Association has submitted test results, including "hacker data", to the Ministry of Transport. Dobrindt is reviewing this data.
