Toyota's truck brand Hino admits faking and fudging emissions data for 20 years
Toyota-owned heavy vehicle manufacturer Hino has admitted to misconduct concerning engine certifications going back to 2003, with improved data-handling practices and test software among the promised fixes.[PDF] detailing its subsequent investigation.
The report suggests Hino's sins aren't directly comparable to Volkswagen's"Dieselgate" scandal – in which the German automaker intentionally wrote software to report false values for engine emissions.The document also admits to diverting data"as if it was measured at the specified measurement points, despite results having been measured at the non-specified measurement points specified under laws and regulations.
Those deceptions were possible because chains of custody for test data were not strong so detecting the fabricated, faked or diverted data was not easy.Establish a system to preserve certification test records, which will secure traceability and access control;Hino has also pledged to"Strengthen … management of control software used in certification/durability tests from the perspective of laws and regulations.
The company's control software will therefore be linked to test results. Hino has also promised to track"'running changes' upon changes of control software."
