AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/27 Report--

In September 2015, the German Volkswagen Group admitted that it had installed cheating software on diesel vehicles to evade strict emission tests, and 11 million vehicles were affected by the scandal, resulting in tens of thousands of car owners suing the court.

On the 25th of this month, the Volkswagen "emission gate" scandal broke out again, and a German consumer organization filed a complaint to the court asking for financial compensation.

On the 25th local time, in response to the class action filed by the German consumer organization, the lawyer representative of the Volkswagen Group said that the complaint filed by the consumer association was groundless, the class action was not established, and there were still many unknown factors in the settlement negotiations. A settlement is unlikely.

Van Wien Garden, a lawyer for Volkswagen Group in Germany: up to now, there are still thousands of customers driving Volkswagen. We believe that Volkswagen has not caused any damage, so there is no reason for this lawsuit.

Prior to September 16, thousands of Australian car owners filed a lawsuit against them over diesel door emissions, and the two sides finally reached a settlement. About 100000 Australian car owners can claim a claim from Volkswagen, in which the claim amount is A $127 million (about 616 million yuan). The agreement came into effect after being approved by the Australian Federal Court.

It has been four years since the Volkswagen "Emission Gate" scandal broke out. It is understood that Volkswagen has lost 30 billion euros (240 billion yuan) as a result of the scandal.

Volkswagen said it was impossible to expect such huge consequences from these disclosures. In addition, Volkswagen has agreed to pay more than $25 billion in compensation to U. S. consumers, environmental agencies, state governments and dealers, and will buy back 500000 diesel vehicles that have polluted the United States.

Volkswagen CEO Deiss has said it wants Volkswagen to regain confidence and establish a positive image from the public as it tries to recover from the emissions scandal.
