Newly released documents suggest the German auto parts supplier Bosch not only provided Volkswagen with the software it used to cheat on emissions tests, but that the company knew its actions were illegal. New information has come to light that implicates Bosch as having a much more direct role in VW’s diesel cheating scandal. Until now, regulators had not yet fully established whether Bosch was aware of Volkswagen’s intentions to modify the engine control software that Bosch had provided. In interviews, the car parts supplier had insisted it provided its clients with engine management systems according to their specifications. Any changes to the code would have to be first cleared by Bosch, according to SZ, NDR and WDR.
