IHI subsidiary faked snowplow specifications affecting 1,233 units

IHI Corporation's subsidiary Niigata Transys delivered road snowplows with specifications differing from those presented to customers, discovered through an employee report. The investigation revealed modifications to test vehicles, including changes to gears and auger rotation speed, to improve test performance.

This affected 1,233 units across various models, with one model requiring further action. Niigata Transys's president and directors will return a portion of their monthly remuneration.
