Daimler AG says it has responded to a request by the U.S. Dept. of Justice to investigate its own diesel testing procedure for U.S emission standards.
DOJ made the request on Friday in response to a class-action lawsuit filed against the carmaker in February concerning emission levels from its BlueTEC diesels. That complaint claimed Mercedes “clean” diesels” actually emit as much as 65 times the allowable levels of nitrogen oxides.
Daimler says the lawsuit is without merit. But the suit triggered an inquiry in late February from the Environmental Protection Agency about Daimler’s emission level data.
