Germany’s highest administrative court in Leipzig says it won’t rule until Feb. 27 on an appeal to overturn temporary city bans on older diesels.
The court had been expected to issue a ruling yesterday about prohibitions imposed by local courts in Dusseldorf and Stuttgart for days when air pollution is especially bad. German states, who are appealing the bans, says the local courts lack jurisdiction.
Such bans would hurt the resale value of older diesels. One analysis says it could cost carmakers €14.5 billion ($17.9 billion) or more to retrofit older engines so they can avoid such sanctions.
Reuters reports that the high court commented yesterday that the complaint might need to be settled by the European Court of Justice.
