The new version of Diesel-Gate
The Diesel-Gate scandal continues - this time, manipulation in the field of exhaust gas standards in Germany alone may affect up to 200,000 vehicles of the Fiat and IVECO brands. Three months after the raid on the Fiat Chrysler (FCA) headquarters and official information from law enforcement agencies, the first customers are turning to legal instruments. At the beginning of November, the German prosecutor's office has already recorded 300 lawsuits, and more are regularly coming. The actions of the prosecutor's office are aimed at fraud in the use of the so-called disconnecting devices during the flue gas cleaning process. In July this year, law enforcement simultaneously entered the headquarters of FCA Germany in Frankfurt am Main, Iveco in Ulm and several other entities related to the concern in Italy and Switzerland. Nine suspects were charged, including 3 people employed by Fiat Chrysler and 6 related to sister concern CNH Industrial (owner of IVECO).
