UK High Court Rules in Favor of Carmakers in Diesel Emissions Litigation
The UK High Court ruled that most claims against major carmakers for alleged use of 'defeat devices' to cheat emissions tests were not proven. The decision, which affects around 1.6 million owners of Euro 5 and Euro 6 diesel vehicles from Mercedes-Benz, Ford Motor, Nissan Motor, Renault, and Stellantis's Peugeot-Citroën-DS division, could limit financial liabilities for these automakers.
