Porsche conducts its own emission study

The focus is on the possible reduction of emissions from gasoline engines. German automaker Porsche, part of the Volkswagen Group, has been conducting an internal investigation since June, focusing on possible manipulations to reduce emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles.

Porsche has already notified the German prosecutor's office, the German Federal Automobile Service (KBA) and the US authorities about possible manipulations with devices and software on their gasoline engines. German media write that these are engines produced from 2008 to 2013, installed on the Panamera and 911. Porsche admitted that some problems were discovered during an internal investigation, but did not provide details, noting only that the problem was not with the cars currently produced distributed by.

Several years ago, Porsche, like many other automakers, found itself at the center of a so-called diesel investigation. Last year, the German authorities fined the company 535 million euros. Now we are not talking about diesels, but about gasoline engines.
