When a West Virginia University research team won a grant in 2012 to run some tests on diesel cars, they could not have imagined that their relatively small study would soon be bringing one of the largest, most storied auto makers in the world to its knees â something in the Farfegnugen just didnât smell right. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to New York Times reporter Jack Ewing whose new book, "Faster, Higher, Farther" takes a deep plunge into the history of Volkswagen and gives us the latest on the companyâs emissions scandal. We learn about the Nazi propaganda beginnings of Volkswagen, the companyâs involvement in wartime atrocities, and the powerful families behind the Volkswagen brand. We also examine the companyâs systematic and dishonest emissions cheating practices, and talk about what lies ahead for the auto giant.
