Nissan Renault is facing trial in the UK for emissions cheating. In October next year, the car manufacturer’s case will be heard alongside Peugeot Citroën, Mercedes, and Ford.
The Volkswagen emissions scandal, infamously known as “dieselgate,” has left millions of car owners worldwide feeling deceived and out of pocket. In the UK, legal action is ongoing, and affected drivers still have the chance to claim compensation.
The High Court has ruled that Peugeot Citroën will face trial in the UK for allegedly fitting and selling cars with emissions-cheating devices. Peugeot Citroën drivers will have their cases heard alongside Mercedes, Ford, and Nissan Renault drivers in October 2025.
The Volkswagen emissions scandal, more commonly known as ‘dieselgate’, is one of the most significant corporate fraud cases in history. This scandal not only exposed the lengths to which major car manufacturers would go to deceive regulators and customers, but also highlighted the widespread impact of corporate malfeasance on the environment and public health.
The High Court has ruled that two more manufacturers will face trial in the UK for allegedly fitting and selling cars with emissions-cheating devices. Nissan Renault and Peugeot Citroën drivers will have their cases heard alongside Mercedes and Ford drivers in October 2025.
The global ‘dieselgate’ scandal started back in 2015, when the US Environmental Protection Agency discovered Volkswagen Group had been selling cars with illegal emissions-cheating software. The software could detect when a vehicle was undergoing emissions testing and tweak its performance to deliver cleaner results.
In January 2024, the High Court ruled that drivers could sue BMW for fitting some diesel vehicles with devices that tricked emissions tests. The illegal devices made it seem like BMW’s diesel cars were less-polluting than they actually were.
