"Trump also told Bild that the US would impose a border tax of 35% on cars that BMW, a German company, plans to build at a new plant in Mexico and export to the US... The US president-elect went on to say that Germany was a great car producer, borne out by Mercedes-Benz cars being a frequent sight in New York, but there was no reciprocity. Germans were not buying Chevrolets at the same rate, he said, making the business relationship an unfair one-way street. He said he was an advocate of free trade but not at any cost...". Questo quanto dice Trump nella sua intervista alla Bild ripresa dal The Guardian. Ai tedeschi va bene, perchè grazie a noi del Sud (i PIIGS) lavorano con Euro svalutato del 25%. Se avessero il marco, le loro auto costerebbero minimo il 25% in più... Se serie 3 costasse 125 e Giulia 100, quale verrebbe comprata di più? La pacchia per loro va avanti da più di 30anni (fra Sme ed Euro), ora è meglio lascino perdere...
Direi che io mi sentirei più tranquillo se fossi nei panni di Marchionne, visto che pochi giorni fa ha annunciato investimenti in USA, rispetto ai tedeschi...
Rimane il fatto che rispetto a VW la situazione appunto riguarda 100mila veicoli e non 500mila circa nei soli USA e circa 1mln nel mondo di VW, e che NON si tratta affatto di
Defeat Device , infatti:
"The EPA has yet to explicitly accuse Fiat Chrysler of installing a defeat device that actually senses when the car is on the emissions rolls being tested, and the company’s CEO Sergio Marchionne addressed this in a teleconference earlier today, saying:
There is nothing in the current calibration of the Ram 1500 or the Grand Cherokee diesel that distinguishes between a test cycle and normal driving conditions. This is a huge difference because there has never been an intention on part of FCA to create conditions that are designed to defeat the testing process. That is absolutely nonsense.".
"According to the EPA, Fiat Chrysler allegedly FAILDE TO DISCLOSE ... eight AECDs, which tamper with exhaust gas recirculation, EGR, and selective catalytic reduction, SCR, under certain vehicle conditions... The EGR systems in these Jeep and Ram vehicles recycle exhaust gases back into the cylinders to reduce combustion temperatures and lower NOx emissions, and the SCR system adds urea to the exhaust stream to convert NOx into nitrogen and water.".
Vedremo come andrà a finire, ma qui NON si tratta di software che riconosceva i rulli... quindi, cari tedeschi, de che stamo a parla'?
