Daimler sees itself <"teReise" / span class => faces a class action lawsuit for allegedly excessive exhaust emissions in the United States. The owner of a Mercedes model with BlueTec diesel engine criticizes the Stuttgart carmaker, emissions of toxic nitrogen oxide overstepping at temperatures below ten degrees, the limit values in the United States by up to 65-fold. Daimler dismissed the accusation. “We consider the action to be unfounded,” a Daimler spokesman. “We are going to sift through the documents, and we will defend ourselves.” The Daimler shares lost due to the action announcement significantly in value.
The action before a district court in Illinois was filed by the law firm Hagens Berman who already Volkswagen in has the US sued for excessive emissions. The Wolfsburg-based group had admitted in September to have manipulated nitrogen oxide exhaust emissions with a special software.
Attorney Steve Berman holds Daimler misleading and misrepresenting its exhaust emissions in front. The German carmaker rack so that its diesel engines are particularly environmentally friendly BlueTec emissions control, because they uttered up to 30 percent less climate damaging carbon dioxide than petrol vehicles. In tests, however, nitric oxide levels were measured which are 19 times higher on average than allowed in the US. Under certain conditions, values have been clearly stated above. Daimler did its motors programmed “knowingly”.
Daimler has the use of special software repeatedly denied the manipulation of emission values. The German Environmental Aid (DUH) Daimler had the use of a defeat accused after a diesel vehicle in the C-Class increased values were found. The Environmental Association, referring to measurements of the Dutch testing institute TNO, which had high overruns in nitrogen oxide emissions measured in this vehicle.
Volkswagen because of the giant recall as a result of the exhaust scandal given more release dates known. In a customer letter, the group called for the car with the smallest affected engine 1.2 liters a beginning of the workshop action from 30 May (calendar week 22). The medium-sized motors with 1.6 liters are from 5 September (calendar week 36) turn. Already known is the start date February 29 (Week 9) for the 2.0-liter engines. Here variants of the Passat the beginning.
In Germany are approximately 2.5 million VW models affected by manipulations in diesel exhaust emissions. When exactly which types are off, depends on the combination of engine, built and gear. The Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) are the dates free gradually. In the middle 1.6-liter engines, a component must be used in addition to a software update. In the letter states any VW-holders still get a second letter, the then visits to specific dates in the workshop. “We deeply regret that we have your confidence disappointed and this irregularity be corrected as quickly as possible,” writes Volkswagen. All vehicles were also without rectification “technically safe and roadworthy”.
anger because of the affair have the Wolfsburg in South Korea. In the home of rival Hyundai / Kia, the Environment Ministry had to own emission tests in November for several models of VW and Audi recalls arranged – now the prosecutor searched the premises of the German carmaker in the capital Seoul , Investigators have secured documents and disks and e-mails to and from management in Germany, Yonhap news agency reported on Friday, citing the office of the prosecutor. The action had been, among other things in connection with the allegation that VW had filed deficient recall plans for more than 125,000 diesel cars. In January, the Ministry had filed against the head of Audi Volkswagen Korea, Johannes Thammer complaint.
