Robert Bosch GmbH and its U.S. affiliate have finalized a $327 million customer compensation settlement relating to its role in Volkswagen AG’s diesel emission cheating.
The agreement, which was approved by the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, will pay owners of Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen brand vehicles that are equipped with 2.0-liter or 3.0-liter diesels. Lawyers representing consumers seek 16% of the settlement, or $52 million, to cover fees and expenses.
Bosch’s payments are in addition to compensation agreements made separately for the two engine sizes by VW. Eligible current or former owners and lessees have between April 1 and Dec. 31 to file a claim, depending upon their status.
