Reuters, a Japan's transport ministry is preparing action against a Toyota Motor Corp associate for crooking
engine emissions tests, including possibly withdrawing certification for some engine type. This was reported by Nikkei on Monday.
The ministry will order Toyota Industries, the world's largest manufacturer of forklift trucks, to take steps to prevent a "recurrence of the misconduct", the newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
However, Toyota did not respond immediate to Reuters request for comments.
Toyota Industries, which also makes cars, textiles and electronics, may lose certification for an excavator engine, the report said.
"The regulator will weigh the severity of the misconduct before deciding whether to do the same for engines used in Land Cruiser vehicles and HiAce vans," that's what the report said.
The company reported to the ministry in January that it had engaged in misconduct that included tampering with performance test data for multiple forklift and automobile engine models, that's what Nikkei added on the report.

                Toyota Motor Corp associate must take full responsibility for manipulating this engine emission tests. The transport ministry should move on with the litigations and ensure justice for the environment.

                  The ramifications for such market manipulation through false reporting and duping systems to fit personal profit goals by an organization should lead to immediate expulsion from the market and financial embargos driving them bankrupt for trying to bankrupt the planet of life.
