Faster, higher, farther : the inside story of the Volkswagen scandal
Ewing, Jack, 1955-2017
eBook
A shocking exposé of Volkswagen's fraud by the New York Times reporter who covered the scandal.When news of Volkswagen's clean diesel fraud first broke in September 2015, it sent shockwaves around the world. Overnight, the company long associated with quality, reliability and trust became a universal symbol of greed and deception. Consumers were outraged, investors panicked, the company embarrassed and facing bankruptcy. As lawsuits and criminal investigations piled up, by August 2016 VW had settled with American regulators and car-owners for $15 billion, with additional fines and claims still looming. Jack Ewing rips the lid off the scandal. He describes VW's rise from 'the people's car' during the Nazi era to one of Germany's most prestigious and important global brands, touted for being 'green'.
