Obviously, the first reason being the less cars driving around the less carbon emissions released into\u00a0<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/Earth\">Earth&#8217;s<\/a>\u00a0atmosphere, with the second relating to the actual reason why these motors find themselves dormant in the desert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Ladies and gentlemen, I remind you of &#8216;Dieselgate&#8217; &#8211; which refers to Volkswagen&#8217;s emissions scandal that started back in 2015, when the\u00a0<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/us-news\">US<\/a>\u00a0Environmental Protection Agency uncovered that the\u00a0<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\"

Volkswagen&#8217;s including Golf&#8217;s manufactured between 2010 and 2015, as well as a host of Audi models, and the Porsche Cayenne &#8211; with Volkswagen owning both brands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It meant that when the engines were tested, it would pass as producing safe measures of nitrogen oxide complying with US regulations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It came about after the\u00a0<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/business\">company<\/a>\u00a0admitted around 11 million cars worldwide were fitted with defeat device software, which as just mentioned tricks laboratory tests into recording lower levels of toxic emissions than in real world conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">However, when the disgraced car manufacturer was caught out, it faced harsh fines and court settlements &#8211; with the German carmaker claiming the scandal cost the business $34.69 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">The cars were then exiled from US markets, and those manufactured in\u00a0<a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/California\">California<\/a> were dumped in the Mojave Desert &#8211; with thousands of Audis, Volkswagens and Porsches pictured lining the dessert.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-image_articleImage__eyzAn\">\n<div
