In einer Sache herrscht vor der EZB-Sitzung am Donnerstag weitgehend Konsens: „Eine Zinssenkung ist quasi beschlossene Sache“, sagt Martin Pirkl, währungspolitischer Korrespondent der Börsen-Zeitung, im Podcast 7TageMärkte. Deutlich mehr Gesprächsbedarf besteht aber offenbar über die mittelfristige Geldpolitik. Die EZB sucht nach dem neutralen Zins. „Damit ist das Niveau gemeint, das die Wirtschaft weder bremst noch stimuliert – und je näher wir an dieses Level kommen werden, desto schwieriger werden die geldpolitischen Entscheidungen auch für die EZB werden“, erklärt Pirkl. Welche Faktoren in die Überlegungen der Notenbanker einfließen, ist diese Woche Thema im Podcast. Außerdem gibt es erste Eindrücke vom Winterkorn-Prozess und eine Vorschau auf die angekündigte Apple-Show in Cupertino, die Haushaltswoche im Bundestag und die wichtigsten Termine der Kalenderwoche 37.

Lebanon's former central bank governor, Riad Salameh, has been arrested in Beirut. Once lauded for reviving the country's economy after the civil war, Salameh's later years in office were marred by allegations of financial crimes including embezzlement and money laundering. Plus, the trial against Martin Winterkorn, the former CEO of Volkswagen, has begun nine years after the "Dieselgate" emissions cheating scandal sent shockwaves through the global auto industry.

Guest post by David Ross is an international corporate peacemaker, strategist, and author of Confronting the Storm: Regenerating Leadership and Hope in the Age of Uncertainty Who would want to be the CEO of a large company, when finding yourself knee-deep in a highly visible corporate scandal? Imagine the pressure trying to remove your organization as quickly as possible from being a front-of-mind concern for your teams, the media, regulators, shareholders, affected communities, and politicians. Confronting the Storm: Regenerating Leadership Maybe that pressure explains the all-too common tactics CEOs employ to get off the front pages such as doubling down on their beliefs that their organization is innocent, that that the harm caused is less than perceived and ridiculing those who have highlighted the organization's toxic practices. And the most obvious tactic of them all, relying on an expensive communications firm to help ride out the scandal. So how does this usually work out? Responsibility is Yours There are numerous high-profile examples of notable corporate scandals, and it is hard to think of one where the CEO has come out of it with their reputation intact or rebuilt Take Enron's CEO, Kenneth Lay, who was convicted of six counts of securities and wire fraud and after the Deep Horizon oil spill scandal, BP's CEO, Tony Hayward, was dismissed. Similarly, Volkswagen CEO, Martin Winterkorn, resigned from his post and is about to go on trial for his part in the "emissionsgate" scandal. However, it is possible for leaders to "unfail," rebuild trust and get things back on track provided they are fully prepared to really confront the issue. From Outrage to Integrity: The Big Picture Scandals, if managed proactively and sensitively, can be an opportunity for organizations. But leaders shouldn't expect them to be resolved quickly, as they often occur because stakeholders feel that something adverse has been imposed on them, or that there has been a collision where the values and goals of the affected are adversely at odds with those of the organization. Something must give. The sooner CEOs appreciate that the affected are, generally, reasonable people with important insights, the better. They should never underestimate their stakeholders. Five Steps to UnFail Stem the bleeding It is critical to reduce the intensity of the outrage directed at your organization: listen deeply - to representatives of the affected on their turf, not yours don't be defensive or disagreeable no matter how hard that feels set expectations that you and your organization take the concerns raised seriously. Intend to do something about it and maintain lines of communication. Understand the 'why' and act Appreciate that there may be a myriad of concerns raised by the affected, search for patterns in the data. Plan your response and strategy, accordingly: identify which concerns are legitimate and should be responded to, and which are illegitimate, those that violate human needs, and should not be progressed any further reflect, as an organisation and personally, on what you are hearing - particularly what needs to be confronted about obvious problems, past behaviours or practices. develop a strategy embedded with dignity, valuing the worth of those affected, their groups or communities, and where relevant, the natural environment. Proactively and sensitively communicate Managing perceptions, outside and inside your organization, from the get-go is critical: Sincerely acknowledging the pain caused or poor behaviour exhibited on the part of the organization is essential. Don't ever blame someone else. don't underplay the impact. keep the affected updated. Vacuums, otherwise, will be filled with misinformation. communicate how seriously the organization takes the issue, and how it will, humbly, start to improve the situation (hint: with the help of the affected). Be disciplined in following through Conflict doesn't disappear after carrying out the above s...

Mein heutiger Gast ist vielleicht eines der bekanntesten Gesichter rund um den VW Abgasskandal, der die Autoindustrie in seinen Grundfesten erschüttert hat, wie kaum ein Ereignis zuvor. Im Januar 2017 wurde Oliver Schmidt nach dem Weihnachtsurlaub in Florida verhaftet und das Häftlingsfoto ging um die Welt. Was ich bisher allerdings in allen Berichten vermisst habe, ist mehr über sein Leben vor diesem Tag, der alles verändert hat, zu erfahren. Denn auch Oliver Schmidt hat viel zu erzählen, begann seine Karriere doch bei VW Motorsport, von wo aus er an den großen W-Motoren des Konzerns arbeiten durfte und so handelt diese Folge nicht etwa nur davon, wie man sich mit der amerikanischen Umweltbehörde und irgendwelchen Mithäftlingen herumschlägt, sondern von Kurbelwellen für den Bugatti, seine Arbeit bei Bentley in Crewe, davon, wie er vergeblich versucht hat, in einem Phaeton dem damaligen Vorstand Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard im 700-PS-Golf auf einem amerikanischen Highway zu verfolgen und wie es zu den Treffen mit Jay Leno gekommen ist! Endlich die Geschichte, die längst erzählt werden musste - viel Spaß mit Oliver Schmidt!

Gut drei Jahre lang hielt Volkswagens These, der Konzern habe sich in Deutschland eigentlich nichts zu Schaden kommen lassen. Dann hagelte es Urteile mit allerdeutlichsten Worten. Es waren halb Urteile, halb Moralpredigten. Wenn die Anwälte der Volkswagen AG im Jahr Drei der Dieselaffäre ihre Post öffneten, mussten sie tief durchatmen. Der Konzern habe seine Kunden betrogen, hieß es vom Landgericht Nürnberg. Volkswagens „Gewinnstreben um den Preis der bewussten Täuschung von Verbrauchern und Behörden ist als verwerflich zu betrachten“, schallte es aus Düsseldorf. Ein Richter in Stuttgart tadelte, Volkswagen verstoße „gegen das Anstandsgefühl aller billig und gerecht Denkenden“. Volkswagen, einst Stolz der deutschen Automobilwirtschaft, war in den Augen der Richter zum Sündenpfuhl geworden. Die Dieselfahrzeuge des Konzerns wären schadhaft, seine Führung moralisch untauglich und juristisch verantwortlich, lautete das Credo zahlreicher Urteile. Volkswagen konterte, man erachte die Urteile als rechtsfehlerhaft und rechne mit einer Korrektur. Dann strebte man lieber einen Vergleich an. In dieser Folge von Handelsblatt Crime berichten unsere Reporter, wie aus dem größten Skandal der deutschen Autoindustrie der größte Vergleich der deutschen Rechtsgeschichte wurde. Mehr als eine Viertel Million Kunden schlossen sich einer so genannten Musterfeststellungsklage an, um Volkswagen zur Korrektur eines gewaltigen Betrugs zu zwingen: den millionenfachen Verkauf von angeblich umweltfreundlichen Fahrzeugen, die in Wahrheit umweltschädlich waren. Es kostete mehr als 800 Millionen Euro. Weitere, weit höhere Rechnungen stehen noch aus. In Braunschweig läuft ein Anlegerprozess. Neben der Musterklägerin Deka Investment sind diverse weitere institutionelle Investoren dabei. Ihre Forderung: fast zehn Milliarden Euro. Der Richter muss entscheiden, ob Volkswagen die Anleger rechtzeitig über den Skandal um Millionen von manipulierten Dieselmotoren informierte. Vieles spricht dafür, dass dies nicht geschah. Wenn es einen Mann gab, der dafür hätte sorgen können, dann er: Martin Winterkorn. Seit vielen Jahren allmächtiger Chef von Volkswagen, viel gerühmt und hoch bezahlt. Im Podcast zeichnen wir seinen Weg aus einfachen Verhältnissen an die Spitze des größten Automobilherstellers der Welt nach. Und seinen Fall. Im Auge des Sturms wollte Winterkorn plötzlich nicht mehr sein, als was er immer galt: allwissend, allgegenwärtig, in allem eingebunden. Diese These muss er nun auf der Anklagebank vertreten. *** [Richter tadeln VW, 13.3.2018](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/dieselaffaere-richter-werfen-vw-immer-haeufiger-betrug-und-bewusste-taeuschung-vor/21060230.html) [Richter Reuschle, 15.6.2018](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/milliardenprozess-fall-volkswagen-ein-richter-will-die-wahrheit-ans-licht-bringen/22686182.html) [Audi-Manager schweigen, 4.7.2018](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/das-klingt-sehr-nach-schweigegeld-in-der-dieselaffaere-trennte-sich-audi-von-managern-dabei-flossen-millionen/22761726.html) [VW blockiert Dokumente, 5.7.2018](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/bericht-von-jones-day-vw-und-die-diesel-dokumente-chronik-einer-blockierten-aufklaerung/22771920.html) [Professoren und VW, 6.11.2019](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/abgasaffaere-vw-und-die-wissenschaft-unklare-verhaeltnisse-bei-der-aufklaerung-des-dieselskandals/25191942.html) *** Exklusives Angebot für Handelsblatt-Crime-Hörer: Testen Sie Handelsblatt Premium 6 Wochen für 1 € und bleiben Sie immer informiert, was die Finanzmärkte bewegt.

Im Dieselskandal von Volkswagen gingen viele Mythen zu Bruch. Die Mär von der allwissenden Compliance und wegweisender Fehlerkultur sind nur zwei traurige Beispiele. Zwei Inder und ein Schweizer Student kamen Volkswagen als Erste auf die Schliche. Alle drei waren an der West Virginia University eingeschrieben und beschäftigten sich am Institut für Emissionsforschung damit, wie Fahrzeuge umweltfreundlicher werden konnten. Die deutschen Hersteller schienen führend bei diesem Thema. Die Studenten wollten wissen, wie die überlegene Technologie aus Good Old Germany genau funktionierte. So nahm das Schicksal seinen Lauf. Die Studenten bastelten sich ein mobiles Testgerät für Abgase. Damit konnten sie die Werte im Straßenverkehr messen und mussten sich nicht auf die Zahlen aus den Testlabors verlassen. Und siehe da: die echten Abgaswerte waren um ein Vielfaches höher als angepriesen. In der zweiten Folge von Handelsblatt Crime zum Dieselgate zeichnen wir nach, wie die Ergebnisse der Studenten die Umweltbehörde erreichten. Ebenso stellen wie die Compliance Abteilung von Volkswagen vor. 550 Mitarbeiter, die den ganzen Tag nichts andere taten, als für die Einhaltung der unternehmenseigenen Regeln zu sorgen – und trotzdem keinen Schimmer vom größten Betrug der deutschen Autogeschichte hatten. Das galt angeblich auch für Martin Winterkorn. Der allmächtige Vorstandsvorsitzende von Volkswagen ließ sich zwar jeden Freitag einen sogenannten Wochenendkoffer mitgeben. Darin enthalten: die wichtigsten Themen im Konzern, die der detailversessene Workaholic Winterkorn bis Montagfrüh durchgearbeitet haben wollte. Ausgerechnet im August 2014 allerdings, als Informationen über viel zu hohe Abgaswerte in Dieselmotoren im Winterkorns Koffer lagen, passte der bestbezahlte Automanager Deutschland offenbar nicht richtig auf. Und selbst am Schadenstisch, der für die Problemanalyse eingerichtet worden war, wollten hochrangige Manager von Volkswagen die Probleme im Juli 2015 nicht lösen, sondern vertuschen. Ein paar Wochen später mailte dann einer nach einem Treffen mit der Umweltbehörde in Kalifornien: „Shit. Voll schiefgelaufen!“ *** [Das sagen Martin Winterkorn und die VW-Aufseher](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/ruecktritt-des-vw-chefs-das-sagen-martin-winterkorn-und-die-vw-aufseher/12359958.html) [Brisante Dokumente belasten Ex-VW-Chef Martin Winterkorn](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/dieselskandal-bei-volkswagen-brisante-dokumente-belasten-ex-vw-chef-martin-winterkorn/21012870.html) [Mitarbeiteraussagen und Erotik-Mails: Neue Details erhöhen im Dieselskandal den Druck auf VW](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/dieselskandal-mitarbeiteraussagen-und-erotik-mails-neue-details-erhoehen-im-dieselskandal-den-druck-auf-vw/23120378.html) [Wie die Kontrolle bei VW versagte](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/dieselskandal-wie-die-kontrolle-bei-vw-versagte/23955944.html) [Autokonzerne sahen Dieselkrise kommen – „Ohne Bescheißen werden wir es nicht schaffen“](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/kartellverdacht-autokonzerne-sahen-dieselkrise-kommen-ohne-bescheissen-werden-wir-es-nicht-schaffen/24066992.html) [Der tiefe Fall des Ex-Audi-Chefs Stadler](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/dieselprozess-der-tiefe-fall-des-ex-audi-chefs-stadler/25546948.html) *** Exklusives Angebot für Handelsblatt-Crime-Hörer: Testen Sie Handelsblatt Premium 6 Wochen für 1 € und bleiben Sie immer informiert, was die Finanzmärkte bewegt.

Mehr als zehn Millionen manipulierte Fahrzeuge, mehr als 30 Milliarden Euro Schaden. Kein Skandal hat den Ruf der Autoindustrie so beschmutzt. Der 18. September 2015 war ein Schicksalstag für Volkswagen. Kurz vor dem Wochenende verschickte die amerikanische Umweltbehörde EPA eine „Benachrichtigung über einen Verstoß“, so das Amtsenglisch. Volkswagen sollte in den USA 500.000 „regelwidrige Kraftfahrzeuge“ verkauft haben. Für jedes einzelne davon wäre eine Strafe von 37.500 Dollar möglich. Noch auf ihren Sofas konnten die 600.000 Mitarbeiter von Volkswagen das Risiko ausrechnen: 18,5 Milliarden Dollar. Fünf Tage später trat Martin Winterkorn zurück. Der einst allmächtige Vorstandsvorsitzende von Volkswagen beteuerte, nichts gewusst zu haben von dem Skandal, der seinen Konzern ins Wanken brachte. Manipulierte Dieselmotoren, Betrugssoftware, gefälschte Abgaswerte? Winterkorn gab sich komplett ahnungslos. In dieser Folge von Handelsblatt Crime sprechen Ina Karabasz, Investigativ-Chef Sönke Iwersen und Auto-Reporter Stefan Menzel über die Hintergründe des größten Skandals der deutschen Fahrzeugindustrie. Warum beschloss Volkswagen, die Umweltauflagen zu umgehen? Wer verdiente daran? Und wer waren die Komplizen? Dieselgate ist ein Skandal mit irrwitzigen Details. „Lasst euch nicht erwischen“, sagte ein VW-Manager schon 2006. „Meine Einschätzung: Ganz ohne Bescheißen werden wir es nicht schaffen“, schrieb ein Audi-Ingenieur 2008. Als die Amerikaner Volkswagen aufforderte, die Software für die Motorensteuerung offenzulegen, mit der die Manipulation umgesetzt wurde, beruhigte ein Programmierer seinen Vorgesetzen: „Der Code ist so gut versteckt, den findet sowieso keiner.“ Dann fand man ihn. VW-Mitarbeiter kamen in Haft, Partner und Helfer des Konzerns wurden mit in den Strudel gezogen. 32 Milliarden Euro hat der Dieselskandal Volkswagen schon gekostet. Dabei ist die letzte Rechnung noch nicht geschrieben. *** Mehr zum Thema: [Der große Adblue-Bluff](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/diesel-technologie-von-audi-der-grosse-adblue-bluff/19521178.html) [Deutsche Autoindustrie in der Krise](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/das-kartell-deutsche-autoindustrie-in-der-krise/20093170.html) [VW-Anwälte nahmen Einfluss auf Tierversuche](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/abgastests-mit-affen-vw-anwaelte-nahmen-einfluss-auf-tierversuche/20922146.html) [Ex-VW-Motorenchef Neußer – Die dunkle Seite des „Dr. Hollywood“](https://www.handelsblatt.com/unternehmen/industrie/abgasskandal-bei-vw-ex-vw-motorenchef-neusser-die-dunkle-seite-des-dr-hollywood/23170168.html) [Das Pamio-Video von 2008](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li-zPsEG_fw) *** Das exklusive Abo-Angebot für Sie als Hörerinnen und Hörer von Handelsblatt Crime: www.handelsblatt.com/mehrjournalismus

Wolfsburg. Einen solchen Auftritt hatte man von Martin Winterkorn noch nie erlebt. Der sonst so selbstbewusste VW-Manager, der ein halbes Jahr zuvor noch im Führungsstreit mit Ferdinand Piëch die Oberhand behalten konnte, trat am 20. September 2015 vor die Kamera. Zweite Tage zuvor hatte die US-Umweltbehörde EPA mitgeteilt, dass VW in Diesel-Motoren eine Software einsetzt, mit deren Hilfe bei Testmessungen die Schadstoffemissionen künstlich verringert werden. Winterkorn las ein vorbereitetes Statement vor, das so begann: „Die Unregelmäßigkeiten bei Dieselmotoren unseres Konzerns widersprechen allem, für was Volkswagen steht. Auch ich habe zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht die Antworten auf alle Fragen. Aber wir sind dabei, die Hintergründe schonungslos aufzuklären.“ Es tue ihm unendlich leid, dass VW das Vertrauen der Kunden enttäuscht habe. „Es wäre falsch, wenn wegen der schlimmen Fehler einiger weniger die harte und ehrliche Arbeit von 600.000 Menschen unter Generalverdacht gerät. Das hat unsere Mannschaft nicht verdient.“ Drei Tage später trat er zurück und der VW-Konzern geriet in die schlimmste – andere sagen schmutzigste - Krise der Unternehmensgeschichte. Es geht um Dieselgate und um mehr als 32 Milliarden Euro Schaden für den Weltkonzern vom Mittellandkanal. Vier VW-Manager stehen seit dem 16. September 2021 als Angeklagte vor der 6. großen Strafkammer des Landgerichts Braunschweig. Sie müssen sich verantworten wegen des Vorwurfs des gewerbs- und bandenmäßigen Betrugs in einem besonders schweren Fall. Sind sie diese „einigen wenigen“, von denen Winterkorn sechs Jahre zuvor sprach? Auch gegen ihn selbst hat die Staatsanwaltschaft Braunschweig Anklage erhoben. Sein Verfahren wurde aber aus gesundheitlichen Gründen ausgesetzt. Der einzige Journalist, der seit dem Auftakt alle Prozesstage verfolgt hat, ist der Leiter des Wirtschaftsressorts unserer Zeitung, Andreas Schweiger. Als VW-Experte berichtet er seit 2015 über den Abgas-Skandal. In der neuen Folge des Tatort Niedersachsen-Podcasts gibt er einen spannenden Einblick hinter die Kulissen des Gerichtsverfahrens, das Rechtsgeschichte schreibt. „Mein Eindruck ist, dass die Kammer hartnäckig bemüht ist, Licht ins Dunkel zu bringen“, so Schweiger.

Ein Diesel-Auto, das auf dem Prüfstand sauber ist, im Straßenverkehr aber die Abgasreinigung weitgehend abschaltet und somit ein Vielfaches an Dreck aus dem Auspuff bläst: Diese Betrugsmasche bei einigen Modellen von Volkswagen war technisch raffiniert, um die strengen Umweltauflagen in den USA scheinbar erfüllen zu können. Trotzdem flog sie auf - und VW hatte sein "Dieselgate". Jetzt stehen einige der Verantwortlichen in Braunschweig vor Gericht, Corona-bedingt in der Stadthalle. Wie konnte es sein, dass so eine offensichtliche Manipulation vom Management offenbar wissentlich im Kauf genommen wurde? Wird das schlechte Gewissen dabei abgeschaltet, wie damals die Abgasreinigung? Und welche Lehren können Wirtschaft und Politik daraus ziehen, um so etwas in Zukunft zu vermeiden? "Der Tag" auf der Suche nach einer sauberen Unternehmenskultur.

Volkswagen's Dieselgate scandal has been ongoing for the past five years. Recently, former CEO Martin Winterkorn agreed to pay the company €11.2 million ($13.7 million) in a clawback.

How do you stay connected to the people in your organisation when the reality is you have climbed so high up the hierarchy that you in truth don't have a finger on the pulse?Join myself and David Pendleton DPhil Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School.They say the queen thinks the world smells of paint as there is someone 3 metres in front of her making sure she thinks the world is perfect. Of course it's a metaphor, however its one that rings true for many of us.Consider how perhaps you present the reality of situations up the food chain. As that perspective is passed higher and higher, then how sterilised does that truth become?Perhaps the data is correct, but the power of the message is lost.David and I saw a report on how "General Lord Dannatt was left horrified by a shocking video of an RAF initiation ceremony" and it made us think of how when we heard about the Volkeswagon emissions scandal, the then CEO Martin Winterkorn proclaimed innocence to the issue.So you can know or not know.

Volkswagen has taken the unusual step of going after the firm's former board members involved in the diesel emissions scandal. Several key figures, led by former chief executive Martin Winterkorn, will pay millions of euros to Volkswagen to settle claims around their involvement in the emissions cheating scheme. Volkswagen's insurer will take the biggest hit, over €270 million. In an aviation first, a Boeing MQ – 25 Stingray drone has operated in an air-to-air refuelling role, offloading fuel to a manned F/A-18 Hornet. The buddy tanking procedure used standard Navy equipment and the transfer was made at what Boeing calls “operationally relevant altitudes and speeds”. The on-again, off-again Keystone XL pipeline project, intended to carry Canadian oil sands derived crude to American refineries, has been officially cancelled by the Canadian firm spearheading the project. The formal cancellation comes after the January revocation of Pres. Biden's presidential permit, reversing Pres. Trump's prior reversal of Pres. Obama's 2016 cancellation. Is Keystone dead? It would appear so, but the project has been through this before.

Der Dieselbetrug und seine Aufarbeitung haben den Autokonzern VW bereits mehr als 30 Milliarden Euro gekostet. Und ein Ende ist noch nicht in Sicht. Von schneller Aufarbeitung kann nicht die Rede sein. Der Strafprozess gegen den ehemaligen Chef Martin Winterkorn etwa wurde gerade wieder verschoben. Von Silke Hahne www.deutschlandfunk.de, Hintergrund Hören bis: 19.01.2038 04:14 Direkter Link zur Audiodatei

Im Sommer 2015 ist Martin Winterkorn am Höhepunkt der Macht angelangt. Er ist Chef des deutschen Autobauers VW, gilt als einflussreichster Automanager der Welt, verdient 17 Millionen Euro pro Jahr und trifft regelmäßig die Bundeskanzlerin. Nachdem er sogar einen Machtkampf mit seinem Ziehvater und VW-Aufsichtsratschef Ferdinand Piëch gewinnt, scheint ihn niemand mehr stoppen zu können —bis ihn wenige Wochen später der Dieselskandal einholt.

The albatross around Volkswagen’s neck, which we know and love as ‘Dieselgate’, is certainly not flying away any time soon. The latest uplifting development there is in this report.

You can help support the channel, securely via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=DSL9A3MWEMNBW&source=url Germany: a court this week happily ruled that former Volkswagen CEO, Martin Winterkorn, will stand trial on fraud charges linked to the company’s global emissions crimes, where it knowingly put profit ahead of human health, and said ‘hey, love us anyway’. Which worked out so well for them, through the prism of retrospectivity. To date, Volkswagen has paid more than 30 billion Euros (which is about $50 billion in Shitsvillian micro-pesos) in penalties and settlements for being such fine, outstanding citizens and paragons of global virtue, etc. They dropped their reputation in the sewer, as a consequence of these careful decisions approved at the highest level, which remains a real ‘surprise and delight’ event for a reporter such as me. Imagine how close we’d be to having a therapeutic goods administration-approved zombie-pandemic-curing vaccine with that kind of spare cash to throw at it. Just saying… Like, what can’t you cure or solve, for 30 billion Euros? After five years of carefully thinking this through, a three-judge panel in beautiful downtown Braunschweig in Volkswagen's neck of the woods (Lower Saxony) ruled that car buyers suffered a financial loss when they bought a car without being aware it was equipped with the illegal software. Such a paradox. It’s not like they could have put: “New Golf diesel, now with loss-ensuring illegal code to pump up the toxicity” in the brochure. Not even in the fine print. Epicurus could have had a field day with that, except of course he’s been dead for 2360-ish years... The court in Bratwurst found a (quote) “predominant likelihood” of conviction in the fraud charge. Ze Chermans are quite precise like that. Look at how well they run their railways. It’s amazing. They’re good at predicting the foreseeable future. Just saying. The three wise Cherman judges said four other defendants would face trial on fraud charges connected to aggravated tax evasion and illegal advertising. Dates for a trial are yet to be set. They hate tax evasion. Courts, and governments. Just ask Wesley Snipes. They have no sense of humour whatsoever, on this stuff. To regulators, tax evasion is worse than murder. Public trials are always fun, too, which Big Marty’s is apparently set to be. There’s really nothing a former corporate rockstar loves more than having his dirty laundry oxygenated on the nightly news.

Joe Biden formally accepts the Democrat presidential nomination and uses his speech to slam President Trump for allegedly failing in his most basic duties to the American nation. Putin critic Alexei Navalny is fighting for his life in Omsk, Siberia, after falling ill in a suspected poisoning. Reports suggest he may be transferred to Germany for treatment. In France, President Emmanuel Macron hosts Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel. The pair have vowed to avoid further virus lockdowns and border closures at any costs. And in auto news, a U.S. judge has thrown out parts of a lawsuit which claimed Volkswagen had misled its investors over the 2015 emissions scandal, but upheld SEC claims against former CEO Martin Winterkorn.

There’s a lot of Jeep apologists. Dozens of people suggested this was just a ‘rogue dealer’. Keep watching because I’ve got the smoking gun on that - it’s not a rogue dealer. It’s an entrenched rip-off strategy with Jeep. Smoking gun coming up: the evidence - shocking. This suggestion that $47,500 is just a rogue dealer, and Fiat Chrysler head office had no knowledge of such abhorrent practices: What a load of shit, in my view. Here’s the smoking gun. Two years ago, a guy named Michael e-mailed me, upset. His cup over-ran when his diesel Jeep shat itself at 58,412 kilometres, in an eerie prequel to the Lawrence’s recent meltdown. The Caroline Springs Jeep shitheap dealer dealt with that. The two dealerships (Newcastle and Caroline Springs) are separated by 1000 kilometres. These events are also separated by almost two years in time. Those shitheads in Sunshine quoted the following: $8900 for the high pressure pump. Six injectors at $2500 apiece - that’s $15,000. Left and right fuel rails at $2163 each. That’s $4326. Fuel injector lines $1267. Sundry parts: $1970. The total is a staggering $31,464. The Sunshine dealership was far more reasonable about the labour - at just $1820, which (I imagine) is around 15 hours at about $120 per hour. That’s only 50 per cent higher than it should be. Those pricks in Newcastle were proposing to fillet the Lawrences to the tune of $7000 for labour. An epic touch-up. But the parts … $31-and-a-half grand in Victoria, two years ago, versus $39-and-a-half in Newcastle, today. They’re similarly blown-out, I think you’d agree. And there’s no way head office could not know. Like, no way. Not that I can see. These are just two ripoffs we know about. How many poor bastards just copped it on the chin and coughed up because they needed to get their Jeep shithawk back on the road? This ‘rogue dealer’ suggestion is about as likely as the alleged ‘rogue engineers’ mooted at one point by those arseholes at Volkswagen, when all the time, the fish was rotting from Martin Winterkorn’s head down. There is no way senior people at Fiat Chrysler Australia can be unaware of dealings such as this. Consumers would be arcing right up to head office about repair cost, don’t you think? I’d love to see the AFP knock on Fiat Chrysler’s door with a warrant and test this hypothesis. Before I let you go: FCA did intervene a couple of days ago. They bowed to the media pressure and they turned the Lawrence’s $50k frown upside down by offering to repair the shitheap for free. In other words, they agreed to do somewhat less than obey the consumer law. Because make no mistake: Had they rolled the dice in court and lost, it could well be Princess of Poshtovia 2.0 - they get their $50 grand purchase refunded and make an application for costs. FCA is getting out of this one for about $10 grand - minus the media fallout, which I sincerely hope is unpleasant, and costs them sales. They deserve that. To Kevin Flynn, who runs FCA in Australia I’d suggest: you did try very hard to spin this up in the news to appear as if you were bending over backwards to be magnanimous, but in fact you do not deserve a standing friggin’ ovation, any more than the rest of us deserve pats on the back for no knocking over the National Australia Bank again today. You arseholes did less than the law requires for a breach of the ‘acceptable quality’ guarantee. And in that sense, you’re still getting away with it.

Show #592   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Thursday 26th September 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story to save you time.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   Hello to new Patreon PRODUCER DOUG BUTCHER   Sign up to new petition online from Scott Edy. “Ban the advertising and endorsement of internal combustion engines.”   NIO PLANS DEEP JOB CUTS AS LOSSES PILE UP "Nio, China’s home-grown answer to electric-car maker Tesla, posted a worse-than-expected quarterly loss, triggering thousands of job cuts and exacerbated concerns that a bubble in the world’s largest EV market may be bursting." says Automotive News Europe: "The dire situation has prompted the automaker, which is backed by technology giant Tencent Holdings, to raise $200 million from founder William Li and a Tencent affiliate, and to plan the spin off some businesses. Its U.S.-listed shares dropped as much as 28 percent to less than $2 on Tuesday and are off more than 80 percent from their peak following last year’s IPO. Nio has accumulated about $6 billion in losses since it was founded by Li, who is also CEO, in 2014. Fire risks led to a mass callback of nearly 5,000 vehicles in June, a significant portion of the 17,550 units Nio had sold as of the end of May."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/nio-plans-deep-job-cuts-losses-pile   IN AUGUST, NIO SOLD ALMOST 1,800 ES6, BUT ES8 HIT ROCK BOTTOM "NIO is in the process of ramping up the production of sales of its second all-electric model, the ES6, while at the same time it tries to maintain sales of the ES8 seven-seater." says InsideEVs: "Last month, sales of the two amounted to 1,943, which is the highest result this year and third-best in the short history of the Chinese company. Year-over-year growth was 73%.  However, looking at the model results, we see a worrying decrease for the ES8: ES6: 1,797 (3rd month on the market). ES8: 146 (down 87%)"   https://insideevs.com/news/372544/august-nio-sold-1800-es6/   JAGUAR CALLS A HOT-RODDED I-PACE A WHEN, NOT AN IF "Michael van der Sande, the head of SVO, told British magazine Autocar that a high-performance I-Pace is more of a when than an if." reports Auto Blog: "The production model would receive more comprehensive changes, including a more powerful electric powertrain, but its body kit would certainly resemble the one worn by the eTrophy cars. Whether the hotter I-Pace would arrive as a limited-edition model, like the XE Project 8, or as a standard addition to the range is up in the air. Jaguar is aware that venturing into the high-performance electric car segment would force it to lock horns with Tesla, which offers jaw-droppingly quick versions of the Model S and the Model X."   https://www.autoblog.com/2019/09/24/jaguar-calls-a-hot-rodded-i-pace-a-when-not-an-if/   TRITIUM OPENS NEW PLANT IN LOS ANGELES "The Australian fast charging station manufacturer Tritium has opened a new plant in Los Angeles. Tritium now has expanded manufacturing and logistics capacities for the American market as well as a research and development department." according to electrive: "In addition, Tritium will introduce the High Power Charger RT175 with a charging capacity of up to 175 kW, specially developed for the American market and scheduled to be available from the fourth quarter of this year. The RT175 charging station is based on the Veefil PK concept, which is used throughout Europe by Ionity, for example. Recently, Tritium refitted its chargers at Ionity charging sites with liquid-cooled cables that will enable charging capacities of up to 350 kW. The Australian company also presented its  latest high power charging system at Cenex-LCV in the UK this September. The system for commercial use is scalable and capable of charging an electric vehicle with 475kW."   https://www.electrive.com/2019/09/24/tritium-opens-new-plant-in-los-angeles/   VW CHAIRMAN AND CEO ACCUSED OF STOCK MARKET MANIPULATION "Volkswagen Group is under new scrutiny as German prosecutors charge two top bosses with stock market manipulation. Prosecutors allege VW Group CEO Herbert Diess and Chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch failed to promptly inform investors about the Dieselgate scandal according to Automotive News." says Motor1.com: "The new charges are just the latest development in the years-long scandal that has rocked the iconic automaker and has led to billions in fines for the company and its subsidiaries. Prosecutors also charged former CEO Martin Winterkorn in the case. Lawyers for both Diess, who will remain as VW’s CEO, and Poetsch say neither could have predicted the scandal’s financial impact on the company. Diess joined the company in July 2015, months ahead of the scandal breaking in September when the automaker admitted it’d installed software on 11 million vehicles to cheat emissions testing, racking up $33 billion (€30 billion) in fines and expenses so far, according to the publication."   https://www.motor1.com/news/372588/volkswagen-accused-stock-manipulation/   TESLA CEO ELON MUSK GIVES VW CEO KIND WORDS "Despite allegations made by the EPA regarding the German automaker, Musk gave Diess his support as a response to an article written by Bloomberg‘s Chris Bryant, who said that the VW executive should win an award for “Worst Sense of Timing.” This comes just a few weeks after the Tesla CEO trolled Volkswagen for cheating on emissions testing." picked up by TEslaratI: "“Herbert Diess is doing more than any big carmaker to go electric. The good of the world should come first. For what it’s worth, he has my support,” Musk said on Twitter.   https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-elon-musk-kind-words-vw-ceo-sustainability/   TESLA MODEL 3 IS THE BEST-SELLING CAR IN NORWAY IN 2019 BY FAR "Tesla’s (TSLA) Model 3 has become the hot-selling car in Netherlands, with year-to-date sales crossing 10,000 units. Undeniably, this figure is massive. This seems to be an impressive feat for a model that started delivery since February 2019. Not many vehicles manage to sell this much even in a year. Reportedly, Model 3 was the third best-selling vehicle in the country in the January-August period, just behind Volkswagen’s VWAGY Polo and Ford’s F Focus." reports Yahoo! Finance "In the Norwegian market, Tesla Model 3 is the hottest-selling car, that too by a large margin. With around 12,000 units sold in Norway so far this year, Tesla’s Model 3 sales have been more than double than Volkswagen Golf, which is in the second spot. Notably, Netherlands and Norway have always been a big market for Tesla, even before Model 3 hit the roads. But with the launch of Model 3, Norway and Netherlands are much ahead in the EV game in Europe."   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/teslas-tsla-model-3-takes-152003025.html   MAZDA CONFIRMS IT WILL PRESENT FIRST PRODUCTION EV IN TOKYO "Mazda confirmed this Wednesday (September 25) that it will present its first EV at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show. Not only that: It will be the company’s first production EV." according to InsideEVs: "The e-TPV has a small battery pack of only 35.5 kWh. For you to have an idea, it has the exact same size as the one that the Honda E uses. The new Mazda PHEV will have a rotary engine as its internal combustion unit. At least this is what the carmaker told the journalists that drove the e-TPV."   https://insideevs.com/news/372762/mazda-ev-debut-2019-tokyo-motor-show/   MG EXTENDS CUSTOMER OFFER AFTER SECURING 2,000 ORDERS FOR ZS EV MG Motor UK has secured 2,000 orders for its affordable electric SUV, the ZS EV, in just two months since launch. In light of this success, the brand has introduced a new offer for the next 1,000 retail customer orders, continuing to match the government’s plug-in car grant for the ZS EV Exclusive version. With the MG grant of £3,500 for the range-topping ZS EV Exclusive on top of the government’s own £3,500 plug-in car grant, customers benefit from an outstanding overall price from just £23,495. ZS EV Excite benefits from a new £3,000 MG Grant which, when paired with the government grant, results in an overall price from just £21,995.   https://electriccarsreport.com/2019/09/mg-extends-customer-offer-after-securing-2000-orders-for-zs-ev/   EDF SAGS UNDER THE WEIGHT OF HINKLEY POINT FIASCO "You may remember Thomas Piquemal. He resigned as chief financial officer of Electricite de France (PA:EDF) three years ago after warning that the French government’s determination to have EDF build the Hinkley Point C reactor in south-west England could bankrupt the company." writes Yahoo! Finance: "EDF warned of yet more overruns to the project. It now expects up to $3.6 billion in additional costs and warned that it’s more likely than ever that the project will be delayed. EDF was worth 107 billion euros back in 2010 when the British government announced the sites where it wanted to build a new generation of nuclear plants. It’s now worth 30 billion ($33 billion).The U.K. guaranteed EDF a price of 92.50 pounds per megawatt-hour for Hinkley Point C in 2012. Last week, it auctioned offshore wind power projects at a strike price of as low as £39.65/MWh."   https://finance.yahoo.com/news/stockbeat-edf-sags-under-weight-061700361.html?.tsrc=rss     QUESTION OF THE WEEK The MYEV.com Question Of The Week…   What do you want to hear on this podcast?

In einer neuen Folge von "Lauer und Wehner" sprechen Ulrich und Christopher über die Themen der letzten Woche. Zunächst geht es um den Brand der letzten Woche: Den von Notre Dame in Paris. Ulrich und Christopher diskutieren über die Reaktionen in den Sozialen Netzwerken und die Reaktionen der Milliardäre, die in kürzester Zeit 700 Millionen Euro zu spenden bereit waren. Wobei Ulrich und Christopher auch darüber diskutieren, ob es sich bei den 700 Millionen Euro tatsächlich um Geldspenden handeln wird, oder um die Spende von Sachleistungen in dieser Höhe, die dann steuerlich geltend gemacht werden können. Dazwischen reden die beiden darüber, dass Greta Thunberg den Papst traf und dieser die Klimaaktivistin aufforderte, weiter zu kämpfen.Danach geht es um die Plakate zur Europawahl, die in einem Monat stattfinden wird. Insbesondere bei der SPD fragen sich Ulrich und Christopher, was da genau los ist und wer die Kampagne für eine gute Idee hielt. Im Anschluss reden die beiden über das sogenannte Geordnete-Rückkehr-Gesetz, das in dieser Woche vom Bundeskabinett verabschiedet wurde. In diesem Zusammenhang stellt Ulrich die Frage, inwiefern die Bundesregierung angesichts der aktuellen Probleme Deutschlands die richtigen Prioritäten setzt. Um Schulnoten geht es danach, denn eine bereits im letzten Jahr veröffentliche Studie der Universität Mannheim kam zu dem Ergebnis, dass Schüler mit exakt gleichen Fehlern in einem Diktat schlechter bewertet werden, sobald sie Murat und nicht Max heißen. Die Lösung hierfür, da ist man sich schnell einig, kann eigentlich nur sein, dass Tests und Klassenarbeiten in Zukunft anonymisiert benotet werden. Zum Schluss führt uns Ulrich durch die Anklage der Staatsanwaltschaft Braunschweig, die sie in der letzten Woche gegen Martin Winterkorn und andere VW-Manager erhob. Ulrich klärt insbesondere darüber auf, was Winterkorn blüht, sollte er verurteilt werden. Wie immer freuen wir uns über Feedback und Anregungen.
