one years passed .... Deal king's another successful revelation.
Although Ranil has been marketing about over 25,000 jobs via Volkswagen factory it is now revealed in Corporate and Business circles that if Senok lead Noel Selvanayagam gets the deal since Noel is a cheap payer to employees not much jobs will be generated as Ranil marketed prior to elections.
Now we know there is no Volkswagen making factory, it is just an assembly plant by Noel S.
BTW, I use this thread to comment following: Meanwhile, 2 days ago South Korea banned selling VW in Korea due to emission scandal. VW diesel engines can emit 40 times of Nitrogen Oxide than approved rate (NOx)—a smog-forming pollutant linked to lung cancer - and they have installed a computer programme in the car to hide it in emission tests.
How they did it is explained here :
When you go to emission test ( දුම් පරීක්ෂාව ) they connect some probes and do many manoeuvring in your car.
A hidden programme installed in the Car computer by VW detect this situation and adjust fuel injection and other gadgets inside the engine to pass the emission test.
When you drive in normal mode it revert back to high performing 'cancer' mode !
In 2014 some researchers (probably funded by rivals) suspected something unusual and later found this cunning action done by VW.
Text I obtained from WWW :VW Diesel-Emissions Scandal The company, which owns 70 percent of the U.S. passenger-car diesel market, is in major trouble for cheating on diesel-emissions tests.
After years of promoting “Clean Diesel” as an alternative to hybrid and electric vehicles Volkswagen is stewing in its own toxic vapors.
What happened?
Volkswagen installed emissions software on more than a half-million diesel cars in the U.S.—and roughly 10.5 million more worldwide—that allows them to sense the unique parameters of an emissions drive cycle set by the Environmental Protection Agency.
According to the EPA and the California Air Resources Board, who were tipped off by researchers in 2014,
VW computer detect steering, throttle, and other inputs used in the emission tests and your behavior in normal driving and programmed to switch between two distinct operating modes .
In the test mode, the cars become good boys, are fully compliant with all federal emissions levels.
But
when driving normally, the computer switches to a separate mode—significantly changing the fuel pressure, injection timing, exhaust-gas recirculation, and, in models with AdBlue, the amount of urea fluid sprayed into the exhaust.
While this mode likely delivers higher mileage and power, it also permits heavier nitrogen-oxide emissions (NOx)—a smog-forming pollutant linked to lung cancer—up to 40 times higher than the federal limit. Some cars may emit just a few times over the limit, depending on driving style and load.
