Germany's top four carmakers and parts supplier Bosch knowingly broke rules when developing a type of emissions software, an environmentalist group said on Thursday, in a years-long legal battle that could open the door for a new wave of lawsuits.
commissioned Bosch to develop technology which they knew from the beginning violated regulatory compliance, Environmental Action Germany said at a press conference, citing internal industry documents leaked to it this summer spanning 2006 to 2015.
But the NGO will also share the documents with an administrative court in Schleswig, northern Germany, which in February 2023 will hear a lawsuit brought by the DUH covering 119 diesel car models to determine whether temperature-based software is legal. It is different from the software that triggered Volkswagen's dieselgate scandal in 2015, which curbed harmful emissions in cars only in test scenarios but not on the road.
