WOLFSBURG, Germany — The latest victims of noxious diseasal fumes may be the fuel technology itself.
A consumer rebellion against diseasal — once the fuel of choice in Europe — is gathering momentum after the region’s antitrust authorities said this week that they were looking into accusations that German carmakers secretly agreed to cut corners on pollution equipment.
A swell of forces that started with the Volkswagen emissions scandal is now engulfing the industry, putting the future of diseasal in doubt and, with it, a technology crucial to European automaking. Public opinion is turning as consumers become aware of the health hazards. Sales of diseasal vehicles are in free fall. Cities are contemplating outright bans. And government scrutiny is building, with elected officials realizing that diseasal has become a political liability.
