I'm sorry that the video below is in German. But if you see the pictures...
It's not a direct reference to JLR, but it's the reference to the fundamental diesel hysteria that JLR suffers from.
The point is that many millions of cars will soon no longer be allowed to drive in German cities. And this affects many millions of car drivers who can no longer afford to live in the cities, but who have their jobs there.
It is about all car manufacturers blocking the hardware retrofit with a particulate filter for older diesel engines.
But in the case of this BMW, the fact is that it was equipped with a particulate filter in the USA right from the start. You can see that in the video. The absurd thing is that you can officially buy this particulate filter in Germany as an original BMW spare part. It is a German product that is shipped back from the US warehouses.
The film shows how dramatically NO2 emissions are reduced in this case. And it also shows that the BMW has all the cutouts so that the particulate filter and an add blue tank can be easily installed.
BMW has not given an answer to this question.
As a result, the car is much cleaner after installation than the limit values for a driving ban. But...it may not drive, because the car with the change is not certified. A single acceptance would cost much more than the residual value of the car.
The bottom line is that the industry does not want it and neither does the legislator.
So many people with low incomes should buy a new car. This will drive people into the arms of extreme parties. It really is an absurd situation. Four candles in an apartment produce 1000 micrograms of NO2. And on the street it should be maximum 40 micrograms. Ridiculous.
