Hazardous goods squad from the APS Memmingen: Several environmental offenders discovered on the A96 during checks. In all three cases, the exhaust aftertreatment was not functional due to defects.

In order to avoid the power reduction and blocking of an engine start that are technically required, the vehicle electronics were manipulated accordingly. In this way, the companies were able to save themselves on repairs and still continue to operate the vehicles. The environment was polluted with harmful exhaust gases more than twenty times over.
