Major carmakers go on trial over dieselgate' emissions cheat claims
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"A landmark legal battle is set to begin at the High Court on Monday, as five major car manufacturers are accused of cheating on emissions tests. The trial marks a significant development in the ongoing dieselgate' scandal, potentially impacting 1.6 million vehicle owners in what lawyers describe as the largest class action in English and Welsh legal history. The companies face allegations that they used software which allowed their cars to reduce emissions of harmful gases under test conditions."

The five lead defendants are Mercedes, Ford, Peugeot/Citroen, Renault and Nissan, all denying wrongdoing. Up to nine other manufacturers could face similar claims depending on the trial's outcome.
