No, more like the engineers meet the board of directors because they cannot match the new pollution standards with their engines, and get told that the other automakers do succeed.
So they have to admit failure or cheat left and right to match the threshold.

Now they learn that the others cheated as well...
Clean diesel, and clean direct injection of any kind without high micro particulate emission, simply cannot be done.
