The U.S. Dept. of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into Ford Motor Co.’s emission testing methods.
The carmaker acknowledged in February that it was using flawed calculations to translate raw emission test results into fuel economy and pollution figures. The company became aware of the issue late last autumn and said it had hired Sidley Austin LLC, a Chicago-based law firm, to investigate.
At issue are the assumptions Ford has been making to estimate how aerodynamic drag and tire friction affect real-world emissions and fuel efficiency. Ford says it is cooperating with the Justice Dept. in its probe.
