After ' investigation Repubblica.it which reported the data of Auto Motor und Sport (according to which CO2 emissions reported by the auto companies are distorted, resulting in lower what is actually delivered), ADOC, Association for Consumer Protection and Guidance, evaluates a possible class action against automobile manufacturers for breach of contract and purchasing a complaint with the Antitrust Authority for misleading advertising.
"It 's very serious falsification of data by the CO2 car - in fact, says Carlo Pileri, president dell'Adoc - Declare a value lower than the real issue. Since the emission of carbon dioxide is the basis of pollutant emission standard Euro, we ask that they be immediately abolished, because the legislation in practice, is empty of meaning and harmful to consumers. Forced, the latter having to renew the fleet every 3-4 years to adapt to European standards, with considerable cost and justification, and without knowing the utility of the investment. Consumers have been brought to their knees, they have spent considerable sums to buy a car Euro 4, but already find themselves with half devalued by at least 20% on the used market, in light of the arrival of new models already meet the Euro 5, which legislation comes into force in 2011. Consumers have already paid once. Now you can even pay for the crisis in the auto market. "
was clear that it would end this way, but in reality the border is slim because the car in fact abide by what the law says. However, then the impossibility of achieving the results reported by consumers things get complicated ...
"on the registration document is declared not real consumption and can not be obtained, contravening the purchase agreement - continued Pileri - By a complete lack of transparency and accurate information to consumers. For this we are considering, with our team of lawyers, the possibility of bringing a class action suit against car companies and to report the same to the Antitrust misleading advertising. There's nothing really "ecological" in the new models marketed, beautiful and good, a fraud to the detriment of unsuspecting citizens. "
