Prosecutors in Germany tell Handelsblatt they are investigating employees of Robert Bosch GmbH for their possible link to a probe into suspicions of diesel emission cheating by Daimler AG’s Mercedes-Benz unit.
Investigators raided several Daimler offices on Tuesday. Handelsblatt says their interest in Bosch is separate from an earlier probe into Bosch’s role in Volkswagen AG’s diesel emission cheating scandal. The supplier provides many carmakers with diesel engine technology, including software used to operate their emission control systems.
In the U.S., Bosch admitted no wrongdoing but agreed in March to pay $328 million (€292 million) to owners of diesel-powered VW Group vehicles. This week the company was accused in another lawsuit filed in Detroit of helping doctor emission systems used in heavy-duty diesel pickup trucks sold by General Motors Co.
