<p>The Vehicle Certification Agency’s (VCA) emissions testing is conducted to the
requirements set out in the relevant type approval legislation. The Government has
been pressing for action at an EU-level to improve emissions tests and we have already
secured a tough new Real Driving Emissions test. From next year, vehicles will have
to meet emissions limits in real driving conditions across a wide range of typical
operating conditions.</p><p> </p><p>The Secretary of State has met with the Chief
Executive of Volkswagen UK to press that the technical fixes are completed as quickly
as possible for UK consumers. The VCA is working closely with the VW group and other
approval authorities to evaluate the proposed technical solutions. They are carrying
out tests to ensure that after the fix is applied the vehicles meet all the legal
requirements including emissions, and that other vehicle characteristics are unchanged,
including fuel consumption and engine noise.</p>
