"排放门"丑闻
scandal over rigging of vehicle emissions tests
Volkswagen will name Matthias Mueller, the head of its Porsche sports car brand, as its chief executive as it tries to recover from a scandal over its rigging of US vehicle emissions tests, a source close to the matter said.
消息人士称，大众将指定大众麾下跑车业务部门保时捷的负责人马提亚斯·穆勒出任新执行长，以试图恢复元气。此前，大众在美国所售部分柴油车陷入排放检测造假丑闻。
穆勒此前就被人们认为是最有希望接替文德恩的人选(has been widely tipped to succeed Martin Winterkorn)。此番"排放门"，即在部分柴油车排放检测中造假(cheat emissions tests on diesel cars)，成为大众78年历史上最严重的危机(the biggest business crisis in Volkswagen's 78-year history)。
大众汽车将面临重振消费者及经销商信心的艰苦战役(a battle to restore the confidence of customers and motor dealers)。大众还将面临刑事调查以及来自受欺骗消费者的诉讼(face criminal inquiries and lawsuits from cheated customers).
