The DUH, which had earlier singled out General Motors’ Opel brand in tests which suggested NOx emissions on the road were higher than those measured in official testing, has turned its fire on France’s Renault in a report commissioned from the University of Applied Sciences in Bern.
When run with a warm or hot engine, a 1.6-litre Espace of the latest Euro 6 diesel generation emitted up to 2.06 grammes of NOx per kilometre , the campaign group said, more than 25 times the EU limit. The vehicle met the statutory 80 milligramme cap only with a cold engine after “specific pre-conditioning”.
