Carmakers chose to cheat to sell cars rather than comply with emissions law, ‘dieselgate’ trial told

The ongoing 'dieselgate' trial reveals that major car manufacturers like Mercedes, Ford, and Renault chose to cheat emissions laws to boost sales instead of prioritizing environmental compliance. This trial, which could see damages exceeding £6 billion, highlights the unethical practices in the automotive industry and the impact on 1.6 million diesel car owners in the UK. It underscores the importance of accountability in corporate behavior and the need for stricter regulations to protect consumers and the environment.
