tuningblog.eu Your magazine about tuning the car
For months and around the automotive industry no one hears positive Things. Heated discussions around the speed limitVarious bans in big cities and not to forget the Diesel scandal, Add to that countless unknown abbreviations and terms for new test methods and this ensures that you simply lose track of the overview. And if the manufacturers are already struggling with WLTP and RDE it will not be easier for the tuning industry. Reason are the new exhaust emission limits that ensure that now also a gasoline engine requires a gasoline particulate filter. Switching to WLTP and RDE is especially time-consuming and costs a lot of money. Our partner workshop Special Concepts called us by the "Provocateur": flap exhaust system almost three times as high costs for the necessary TÜV certificate.
25.000 euros for an expert opinion -> normal ...
Will this money benefit the environment? If we believe in many things, but certainly not! To visualize this once in numbers: A new report is currently a good 25.000 euros -> for A Sport exhaust system! The bulk of the increased costs goes back to the RDE drive with the portable emission device that measures the pollutants. And on another problem. Because currently it is not really clear whether a tuner must bring exactly the same standards a product on the market as the vehicle manufacturers. It simply lacks a meaningful legal basis based on the new standards. In any case, the old Vd-TÜV leaflet 751 is no longer usable. So even the 3 people operating around the corner has to go the way of the vehicle manufacturers if it is to stay legal. But the example is not only reflected in sports exhaust systems. The same applies to performance increases.
illegal changes become more attractive ...
Vehicles for which there is currently an increase in performance must, if necessary, be completely redeveloped. And that, of course, costs a lot of money again. So not only the double work, also the double money due to WLTP! And who will pay in the end? The end user in this regard is already excluded as the proverbial Christmas goose. Already today we receive countless inquiries every day how to circumvent the new legislation. Sometimes craftsmen write us if we do not deliver electronically foldable license plate so that they can not be identified if necessary in the environmental zones, on the other hand, we receive inquiries in how far it is understandable if the OPF is simply removed or a larger turbocharger is under the hood. Already are us at least 15 Chiptuner known to offer the special dummies and suggest the customer to play a chip tuning that is delivered without TÜV certification. Certainly not the fine English way, the legislation changes but on and on, an entire industry could drift in that direction.
Of course that had not been the case.
