Just like with dieselgate this will be a closely guarded secret. Most likely the eu will create some very friendly regulation, and once it becomes an issue they will blame on east europeans somehow - there’s always a way in the eu for that.

So ... no secret at all and widely published and discussed?

Once investigated by the americans, almost buried by merkel, no one seriously punished in europe, millions of polluting vehicles still on the roads and somehow blaming east europeans for buying said highly polluting vehicles as second hand goods - despite governments in those countries wanting to prevent such imports, but pushed back by the eu.

So yes, the same. No secret, published and discussed while nothing really done.

Dieselgate has a 25,000 word Wikipedia article with almost 500 citations. What secrets are being guarded?

Pretty well guarded by certain carmakers until the us revealed it. 25.000 words and no real consequences. No damages paid to european buyers, no serious fines across the eu for damage done to the environment, no consequences for people killed as a result of years of increased pollution, and vw is still in business.

No damages paid? Please get your facts straight: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/dieselgate-timeli...
