BMWs with unauthorized Cheating Device Detected The German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) has discovered an unauthorised defeat device in older BMW diesel X3s. BMW is responding and recalling around 180,000 vehicles from the 2010 to 2014 model years to workshops worldwide. According to an ECJ ruling, the KBA classifies this device as unlawful, similar to the thermal window. BMW will replace the hot air mass sensor, the clean air pipe, and the EGR cooler including the valve in the affected vehicles. The control unit will also be reprogrammed. Why isn't BMW paying high fines to allow cheating devices, sitting and waiting until KBA detects them? Who knows how many BMWs still have cheating devices ?!









Last month, @MLiebreich presented at the @FT Hydrogen Summit and sat down with @pilitaclark to discuss all things hydrogen and its place in the transition to clean energy. For more information on the Hydrogen Summit: hydrogen.live.ft.com #FTHydrogen



A remarkable transition: Kenya is Africa's leading country when it comes to renewables. In 2000 fossil fuels contributed 60% to electricity generation. Today it is 6%. In 2023 electricity was from almost 50% geothermal, 20% wind+solar and 22% hydro. @EmberClimate
