July is an important month for car sales in Ireland, as it is the time of year when consumers look to upgrade their cars. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) released figures last month that showed an annual increase of 5.5% for car sales in Ireland.
It showed the steady rise in demand from the same time in 2015 for brands such as Audi, increasing sales by 17%, and Mercedes by 36%. Land Rover also saw an increase in sales last month compared to 2015 figures.
But Volkswagen sales are dropping in the wake of one of the biggest auto industry scandals the world has ever seen.

As of August 2nd, South Korea revoked the certification of 83,000 vehicles – some 80 Volkswagen models in their country. South Korea is not taking the Volkswagen emissions scandal lightly, and after halting sales on vehicles, and fining them 17.8 billion won ($16 million), they are taking yet more action!
Now, the South Korean Chief of Audi Volkswagen has been summoned over the emissions scandal by State Prosecutors.
They are doing a great deal more than our own government as we continue to fight for thousands of people affected here in the UK as part of our rapidly growing legal action.

Between 2009 and 2015 Volkswagen installed ‘defeat devices’ (software that cheated emissions testing) in their models making their cars appear better for the environment. The software allowed the cars to fool emissions testing by knowing when to switch the emissions control software on. When the car was not being tested, the software was switched off, and the cars emitted nitrogen oxide up to 40 times more.
The Volkswagen emissions scandal has impacted a substantial amount of people across the globe. Not only that, it’s affecting businesses all around the world too.

Lower Saxony is Volkswagen’s second largest shareholder, and reportedly has no plans to sue the German carmaker for damages following the emissions scandal. Lower Saxony has a veto power on Volkswagen’s supervisory board and has a fifth of voting rights as well.
Prime Minister Stephan Weil believes there is currently no legal basis to make a claim, so “as a result there are no plans for a lawsuit.”
This news came not long after the state of Bavaria announced they will be suing Volkswagen, making them the first regional government in the home country of Volkswagen to make a claim.

After the emission scandal, South Korea has taken the big step of halting the sale of 80 Volkswagen models whilst investigations continue in to the emission scandal that Volkswagen is at the heart of.
Most of the models that had been showcased for sale were recently removed. It is alleged that the affected vehicles had falsified documents for the emissions and the sound-level tests.
The environment minister made a statement saying:
“As of August the 2nd, we have revoked the certification of 83,000 vehicles of 80 models”.
Volkswagen and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) are looking into testing different hardware and software that may help Volkswagen not have to buy back hundreds of thousands of diesel cars sold in the United States that were installed with defeat devices to cheat emissions testing.
CARB are working with the German car maker to see whether there are any fixes that could allow Volkswagen to fix its effected diesel engines in order to help them reduce the financial damage that the company would face. But this still may not be enough to appease disgruntled owners, or help to preserve Volkswagen’s reputation since being tarnished by the emissions scandal.

Volkswagen agreed to compensate U.S. victims of “dieselgate” in April following increased pressures from the government to put a package in place.
We can now confirm that a settlement has been reportedly reached on American soil to the tune of $10.2bn with cash payments to be made of around $5,000 although they could reach up to $7,000 (roughly between £1,400 and £5,000 in sterling!)
Yet despite this news, they are still refusing to pay compensation to UK victims!

The breaking of the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal has naturally resulted in other car makers coming under the spotlight for allegedly bending or breaking the rules for emissions testing. Several other manufactures have already been accused by regulators, but independent research conducted by a transport and environment campaign group suggests the scandal is very wide indeed.
It is claimed that some 30 more “dirty diesel” vehicles have produced “suspect” results, with evidence of some allegedly employing defeat devices as well.

If you’ve paid any attention to the news over the last few months, you might have heard about the VW emissions scandal, and how they cheated on emissions testing so that their cars looked like they produced less NOx than they actually did in the real world. What you probably don’t know is why this is actually an issue beyond just that of broken consumer trust.
We’re currently acting for thousands of individuals affected by the scandal and we wanted to highlight the importance of reducing NOx emissions and why you should, in our opinion, care about it!

Following increasing pressures from U.S. federal and State governments, Volkswagen agreed the framework of a compensation deal for some half a million affected vehicles in the U.S. last month, and they are now set for an update after it was agreed that payouts would be made, and that repair options or buyback schemes will also be put in place for victims as well.
In the UK we’re acting for thousands of victims affected by the Volkswagen emissions scandal, yet Volkswagen are currently refusing to pay out. We’re confident we will be able to settle cases but it may take some additional time due to far less pressure from the UK government possibly slowing the action down in comparison.
