Auto Industry Concern (autochat.com.cn) February 13 Report--

The Volkswagen emissions scandal is still brewing. It has been three and a half years since the scandal broke out in the second half of 2015. Although most of the cheating vehicles have been dealt with, Volkswagen still faces investigation problems from regulatory authorities and litigation claims from many owners.

A few days ago, foreign media reported that Bosch, as a supplier of engine management software for Volkswagen, is being investigated by Stuttgart prosecutors and Bosch may face a huge fine for this. More interestingly, Volkswagen is also considering suing Bosch for huge claims.

Stuttgart prosecutors are investigating Bosch, Auto News reported. Bosch is understood to have provided engine management software to Volkswagen, which used it to cheat in car emissions tests in 2015, and Bosch may face a huge fine for it.

Volkswagen has already paid more than 27 billion euros in fines for the emissions gate incident. In order to restore public trust and the reputation of "Made in Germany", German regulatory authorities not only launched various measures for diesel vehicle emissions exceeding the standard pollution, but also investigated enterprises related to "emission gate" one by one, and Bosch was affected.

Volkswagen is considering whether to file a claim against Bosch for up to 1 billion euros, German magazine Der Spiegel reported. Bosch said: "Bosch and Volkswagen's automotive supplier relationship has been going on for decades, and we believe Volkswagen will take such action against Bosch."
