Robert Bosch GmbH has agreed to pay a €90 million ($101 million) fine in Germany for its role in developing software used to cheat on diesel emission certification tests.
Bosch supplied the software to Volkswagen AG and other carmakers, who then used it to evade emission rules, Reuters reports. Prosecutors in Stuttgart say the fine punishes Bosch for being negligent in its supervisory duties.
Reuters reported in February that prosecutors might fine the supplier. Prosecutors say they are continuing probes into the roles of unspecified Bosch employees in developing the software and making it available.
Bosch has elected not to challenge the fine and declares the investigations by public prosecutors in Stuttgart into its role in the cheating have now been completed.
