The image is scratched

"Made in Germany" was a decade-long seal of quality. The exhaust gas scandal could reduce its value. German Carcooperations had disappointed customer promises, said the company consultant Jobst Fiedler in the Dlf. It now needs a complete reorganization - on the part of the companies, but also of politics and trade unions.

The brand "Made in Germany" in the confidence crisis

With regard to a high technical quality, the promise of the "Made in Germany" label still applies, said company consultant Jobst Fiedler. However, there was still a second part, reliability and truth, which had been undermined by the exhaust gas scandal because measurement was manipulated.

"Years of travel by politics and trade unions"

Automotive companies were disappointed with their customer promises. It was not just a German problem, but a general industry problem. However, Germany is particularly hard hit by the fact that the automobile industry is proportionately high.

Years of distance from politics and trade unions had further aroused the manipulations. One had "with diesel technology" put on the wrong horse ". It now needs a complete reorganization, in which a loss of work would not be avoided. Switching to gasoline cars keeps Fiedler unrealistic because of the far too high C02 exhaust gas limits.
