Reacting to strife-torn Volkswagen, French giant PSA Peugeot Citroen has released a statement which says in-part: “PSA Peugeot Citroen confirms that its vehicles have never been fitted with any software or device that detects emissions testing and triggers a pollution treatment system, including for nitrogen oxides (NOx), that is inactive in normal driving conditions.”
Further, PSA Peugeot Citroen has undertake to join with an independent body to publish as soon as possible real-world fuel economy figures for its main vehicles.
In addition the French giant is adopting technical measures to anticipate the upcoming World Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) which will present figures which accurately reflect real-world conditions.
PSA Citroen actually invented the particulate filter 11 years before it became mandatory with the introduction of Euro5 emissions standards in January 2011.
