What happens now in Italy, after the scandal that has engulfed Volkswagen on diesel car emissions? The government announces random checks: “Pending the communication of the real data on the cars involved, we will carry out random checks on at least a thousand diesel cars of all brands. The estimated cost is eight million euros”. The Minister of Transport, Graziano Delrio said it yesterday evening, speaking on the Porta a Porta broadcast.
According to what was reported by Minister Delrio, it is thought that the cars that have fitted the control unit at the origin of the scam on emissions could be in Italy “around a million. And the cost of checking a car is around 8.000 euros. So we can't control them all."
