called the international center on clean transportation commissioned some researchers at the west virginia university to test these cars. they were expecting to find good results and they wanted to show that diesel could be a clean auto technology. obviously what they have found has really shaken that belief. and after a year of talking to california and federal regulators, vw admitted that some 11 million cars around the world were installed with this technology. >> they've already pulled the diesel cars out of their product lines. you can't find them there. what has the company said to american consumers who are driving around half a million strong in these vehicles? what do they intend to do? >> sure. that's a good question. basically they intend to fix the vehicles but the real question is how they'll go about doing that. they said actually today they would present a plan by the end of next month but what remains to be seen is what that will do to the cars. the fuel efficiency and the power which is a big selling point for these cars. and people are worried that what they propose to fix could hur

" only from west virginia university, he helped lead this ready. cap entitlement joins us, our bloomberg auto intelligence. matt tienan joins us. we are thrilled to be joined by your. we have been reading over the studies. can you walk us rua timeline of when you got to the findings and when you release them to the most of theic? public only became aware of this on friday. >> actually i became aware of the frenzy on friday. we did this testing in the spring of 2015. that testing concluded at the beginning of summer. we actually engaged our colleagues at the california resources board to their five the vehicles were behaving as we should. their data was significantly data than our data. us we wereirmed to not making poor measurements, it was simply there were new errors that the vehicle was not performing that way. it took about a year to go through the data, write the report. it was not something high profile for us. we work with o

t, and west virginia university did in this case. >> those two organizations didn't test every car on the road. every time we do a story, the e.p.a. is not funds, doesn't have the teeth or the staff to do it. >> they tested three diesel vehicles after finding in europe that they were producing 40 times emissions of regulations. >> in this environment it seems we are begging car companies to cheat on these things. >> at the same time i could see the e.p.a. trust and verify hope that they are doing the right thing. i'm a volkswagen fan for a long time. i'm shocked to the core that volkswagen would do this. i am sure the e.p.a. felt safe in their assumption that no automaker would cheat hat this level. 40 times. a few percentage over perhaps, that's probably the case. >> i think the scale may be off a little, but this is something of a magnitude. you heard the story, and the last expert made a comment that this is what customers remember forever. you wrote the fall out for vw will be astronomical. honestly, time and time again companies find themselves neck deep in scandal. ford and fire

"the bmw group does not manipulate or rig any emissions tests." dealerships across the country are being inundated with calls from owners of the affected cars. will their vehicles be recalled or how will they be fixed? for now there are no answers. >> it's a wait-and-see. we are waiting for volkswagen to tell us so we can tell them. >> reporter: the number of lawsuits are growing by the hour as the justice department opens a criminal investigation. the researchers say they're stunned. their findings

they then went to a specialist laboratory at the university of west virginia that did tests of the dieselles in real conditions on the road as well as during the testing where you might take your car in for an emissions test that, sort of thing, and they found this discrepancy. and then they were able to trace this to a bit of software in the complex computers that drive modern cars in the volkswagen vehicles that essentially turned off the pollutants during testing, but then turned them back on in order to give the car better performance in it was on the road. of course it was done deliberately. it wasn't an oversight or a defective part or anything like that, that you would see in other auto recalls, so it's something quite different. and a scandal really on the scale of nothing that i can think of other than the recent british petroleum oil spill in the gulf of mexico. it's on that stage, on that scale rather and it will cost volkswagen many billions of dollars and some corporate heads are likely to roll in the next couple of days. >> okay, rob reynolds, thank you very much for that. >
