Offers an exposâe of the 2015 scandal in which Volkswagen was discovered to have conspired to install software in millions of cars to deceive exhaust emissions tests, exploring the role of impossible sales targets in creating a corporate culture that nurtured fraud. - Book News
Ewing, a journalist in Germany, describes the fraud scandal in which Volkswagen deceived emissions-testing mechanisms, resulting in criminal charges and lawsuits. He details the companyâs rise during the Nazi era, the corporate culture fostered by chairman Ferdinand Piëch and chief executive Martin Winterkorn to push illegal methods, the companyâs marketing of âclean diesel,â researchers at West Virginia U. who noticed the emissions discrepancy, exposure of the fraud, and the aftermath.
