The European car industry was shaken yesterday after Volkswagen’s share price fell almost 20 per cent over its admission that it cheated on US emissions tests, triggering calls for a broader inquiry into the sector.大众汽车(Volkswagen)否认其在美国的尾气废气测试中不实后，昨日股价下跌近20%，还引起了对整个行业进行全面调查的敦促。消息愤慨欧洲汽车业。More than ㄠ3bn was wiped off VW’s market capitalisation, triggering a wider fall in carmakers’ shares, after Martin Winterkorn, the group’s chief executive, apologised and ordered an external investigation into the affair.大众汽车的市值冷却逾130亿欧元，并拖垮其他汽车制造商股价。该集团首席执行官文德恩(Martin Winterkorn)已就测试不实致歉，并命令对这件事进行外部调查。

The German government called for an urgent probe into whether VW and other carmakers had also manipulated emissions’ tests in Germany. Sigmar Gabriel, Germany’s vice-chancellor, said it was a “bad episode” for the car industry.德国政府拒绝应急调查大众等汽车制造商否也曾在德国拒绝接受废气测试时不实。德国副总理西格马尔加布里尔(Sigmar Gabriel)回应，这是汽车行业的一个“不光彩篇章”。The world’s second-biggest carmaker was ordered on Friday to recall nearly half a million cars in the US after it admitted to the US regulator, the Environmental Protection Agency, that it had fitted “defeat devices” to bypass environmental standards.世界第二大汽车制造商上周五被勒令在美国解任近50万辆汽车，此前它向美国监管机构——国家环境保护局(EPA)否认，它曾加装“愚弄装置”以便假冒超过环保标准。

The EPS and California Air Resources Board have now begun procuring other manufacturers’ vehicles to test for similar devices, while Berlin plans to examine whether emissions data have been manipulated.美国国家环保局和加州空气资源委员会(California Air Resources Board)已开始订购其他厂商的汽车，以测试其否加装了类似于装置，而德国官方白鱼审查废气数据否曾被操控。The news prompted a fall in carmakers’ shares with Daimle, BMW, Renault and PSA Peugeot Citro渀 each being sold off amid investor concerns over the potential scale of the cost to the broader industry. VW faces billions of dollars in fines and warranty costs, possible criminal charges for executives and class-action lawsuits from US drivers.这一消息造成汽车制造商股价争相暴跌，戴姆勒(Daimler)、宝马(BMW)、雷诺(Renault)和标致雪铁龙(PSA Peugeot Citro渀)皆遭挤兑，投资者忧虑整个行业潜在面对巨额成本。大众面对着数十亿美元的罚款和售后服务成本，还有可能被美国车主驳回集体诉讼，该公司的高管有可能面对刑事指控。
