大眾汽車(Volkswagen)承認其在美國的尾氣排放測試中造假后,，昨日股價暴跌近20%，還引發(fā)了對整個行業(yè)展開全面調查的呼吁,。消息震驚歐洲汽車業(yè),。
大眾汽車的市值蒸發(fā)逾130億歐元，并拖累其他汽車制造商股價,。該集團首席執(zhí)行官文德恩(Martin Winterkorn)已就測試造假道歉,，并下令對這件事展開外部調查。
德國政府要求緊急調查大眾等汽車制造商是否也曾在德國接受排放測試時造假,。德國副總理西格馬爾加布里爾(Sigmar Gabriel)表示,，這是汽車行業(yè)的一個“不光彩篇章”。
世界第二大汽車制造商上周五被勒令在美國召回近50萬輛汽車,，此前它向美國監(jiān)管機構——國家環(huán)境保護局(EPA)承認,，它曾安裝“欺騙裝置”以便冒充達到環(huán)保標準。
美國國家環(huán)保局和加州空氣資源委員會(California Air Resources Board)已開始采購其他廠商的汽車,，以測試其是否安裝了類似裝置,，而德國官方擬審查排放數(shù)據(jù)是否曾被操縱。
這一消息導致汽車制造商股價紛紛下跌,，戴姆勒(Daimler),、寶馬(BMW)、雷諾(Renault)和標致雪鐵龍(PSA Peugeot Citro渀)均遭到拋售,，投資者擔憂整個行業(yè)潛在面臨巨額成本,。大眾面臨著數(shù)十億美元的罰款和保修成本，還可能被美國車主提起集體訴訟,，該公司的高管可能面臨刑事指控,。（中國進出口網(wǎng)）
The European car industry was shaken yesterday after Volkswagen’s share price fell almost 20 per cent over its admission that it cheated on US emissions tests, triggering calls for a broader inquiry into the sector.
More than ㄠ3bn was wiped off VW’s market capitalisation, triggering a wider fall in carmakers’ shares, after Martin Winterkorn, the group’s chief executive, apologised and ordered an external investigation into the affair.
The German government called for an urgent probe into whether VW and other carmakers had also manipulated emissions’ tests in Germany. Sigmar Gabriel, Germany’s vice-chancellor, said it was a “bad episode” for the car industry.
The world’s second-biggest carmaker was ordered on Friday to recall nearly half a million cars in the US after it admitted to the US regulator, the Environmental Protection Agency, that it had fitted “defeat devices” to bypass environmental standards.
The EPS and California Air Resources Board have now begun procuring other manufacturers’ vehicles to test for similar devices, while Berlin plans to examine whether emissions data have been manipulated.
The news prompted a fall in carmakers’ shares with Daimle, BMW, Renault and PSA Peugeot Citro渀 each being sold off amid investor concerns over the potential scale of the cost to the broader industry. VW faces billions of dollars in fines and warranty costs, possible criminal charges for executives and class-action lawsuits from US drivers.
