Volkswagen’s US truck subsidiary undertakes to pay a civil penalty of $ 52 million. In addition, Navistar wants to withdraw older diesel engines.
Volkswagen’s US truck subsidiary Navistar pays a million-dollar fine to settle legal proceedings for violating emissions regulations.
As part of a settlement, Navistar has undertaken to pay a civil penalty of 52 million US dollars (approx. 45 million euros), said the US Department of Justice and the EPA in Washington.
In addition, Navistar has agreed to withdraw older diesel engines. The company had illegally introduced diesel engines for heavy-duty trucks that did not meet the requirements of the EPA since 2010, the judicial authority said.
The US government had already brought charges against Navistar in the matter in 2015. According to the information, it was a total of 7749 diesel generators that did not meet the emission standards. The Volkswagen Group has taken over the US truck manufacturer Navistar through its commercial vehicle holding company Traton with effect from July 1.
