Chapter 6 in Business Ethics and Environmental Fraud, 2021, pp 131-157 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter examines prominent cases of environmental fraud within the automotive industry. In particular, the scandal come to be known as the Volkswagen Dieselgate is grappled as an exemplary case of the practice. Similar occurrences involving other firms are also approached (e.g. FCA, Renault, and PSA). Beyond the description of the cases from the technical point, the chronology of events that both preceded and followed fraud disclosure is developed. Possible motivations that lead executives from these organizations to opt for the adoption of illicit practices, for instance, are considered. In this sense, discussions from the previous chapters are resumed, especially in what refers to decision-making processes, and to competitive characteristics of the automotive industry.
