Hope this story blows up. Some leaked images and 8mins of videos of those monkeys, dogs and cats that VW are using to test their ”clean diesel”:
Monkeys scream out in pain in secret footage recorded at 'German lab' | Metro News
This is from the same company that makes a vegan car with leather manual...
This post was many many pages ago, but I think it's worth pointing out that the video is a factually incorrect dramatization. That is not actual footage from Volkswagen's animal testing labs.
- The VW New Beetle shown in the video is not a "Clean Diesel." Clean Diesel refers to 2009 and newer TDI engines that are equipped with a diesel particulate filter. While it is indeed a diesel, the New Beetle shown is two engine generations before (1999 - 2003) the Clean Diesel was introduced (2009 - 2015).
- The Ford pickup truck shown in the video is gasoline powered. The comparison described in the video was between Clean Diesel Volkswagens and diesel Ford pickup trucks (of an unknown vintage).
