The current scandal is only about the &quot;EA189&quot; engine family with NOx traps for exhaust treatment. The new &quot;EA288&quot; engine family with urea injection was designed from scratch, and, I hope, doesn&#x27;t need cheating software.<p>Edit: the EA288 is&#x2F;was -- at least in Europe -- also sold with NOx trap, but VW still claims it&#x27;s free from cheating software.
