It is a normal human feeling to enjoy when the first of the class makes a mistake.

In the case of the VW scandal, we are not just talking about a good student, but about the excellence in the automotive market, one of the best symbol of Germany, the richest and most powerful country in Europe, our model and our inflexible teacher.



But few numbers can give us the dimension of this fraud.

11 million vehicles affected (around 3 only in Germany), 18 billion Euros as potential penalty by the Us environment Agency Epa, 35% of value lost in Stock exchange.

Moreover, the total production of VW in 2014 touched 10 million units, with an income of 11 billion.

Looking at the numbers, it seems like this fraud can delete the production of one entire year. The consequences of this scandal will deeply affect the brand of VW, but moreover, they will impact on the production.

The CEO already resigned, with a possible bonus of 25 million Euros. But we are not considering the most important number of Volkswagen: the 592,586 employees around the World. What will it happen to this people?
