This applies much more to Europe as a whole and I don't see it being talked that often.

- At least 9 of the top 50 Germany companies are directly associated with the auto industry

- The top 5 global automobile suppliers is composed of 4 European companies and 1 Japanese

- there's a lot of auto industry lobbying for status quo in the EU, just see the generalized state of diesel engines cheating on tests and the level of actions taken afterwards to just treat it as a no problem

The PR disaster it generated is a different story. Diesel engines haven't recovered.
