FRANKFURT - Owners of Mercedes diesel cars filed a new class-action lawsuit in the United States saying the vehicles likely contained a "defeat device" used to cheat emissions testing, an accusation that Daimler, which owns the carmaker, denied.
U.S. law firm Hagens Berman, which had already filed a complaint in February, said new tests had shown that Mercedes BlueTEC cars produced nitrogen oxide emissions in virtually all road tests that were far higher than in controlled lab tests.
"The fact that Mercedes passed the dynamometer test in all tests, but failed the real world test, is suggestive that like VW , Mercedes is implementing a 'defeat device'," it said in its complaint filed in the District Court of New Jersey.

ReplyDelete1028 better watch your green talk, the feds will incarcerate you for your free speech!
ReplyDeleteDiesels are already 96% clean, and the Gov wants them to be 98% clean. Operating at 97% is damn good with the mileage they get.
ReplyDelete98% puts mileage in the trash, and they burn 80% more fuel to do it, so they pollute even more when they are tuned to the Gov regs!
Let my People go!
We want our country to reduce so we can sell carbon credits to the rest of the ones that never will
