Suzuki denies cheating on fuel, emissions testing

TOKYO: Suzuki on Wednesday admitted it found “discrepancies” in its fuel-economy and emissions testing, but denied that it manipulated data to make cars seem more efficient than they were.

The remarks came after the small carmaker’s shares dived in Tokyo on reports it had used improper testing, after rival Japanese automaker Mitsubishi was hit by revelations it cheated on fuel-efficiency tests for decades.
