<p>All new vehicles are tested in accordance with EU law to ensure that they meet
the legislated requirements for emissions. There is no evidence that these emissions
tests have been falsified in the UK.</p><p>The UK has been pressing for action at
an EU-level to improve emissions tests and will continue to do so. The current test
cycle is recognised as outdated and no longer represents normal driving patterns,
and we have been involved in the development of a new laboratory test designed to
be more representative of real driving conditions. We anticipate this will be implemented
from 2017. In addition, we have been at the forefront of action at a European level
to introduce real driving emissions (RDE) testing, which we believe is the best way
to ensure tests accurately represent performance out on the road and ensure public
confidence.</p>
