A federal judge in California has approved a consent decree in which Volkswagen AG will pay $85 million to the state of California to compensate for cheater diesel-powered vehicles it sold there.
California will use the payment to fund research and consumer protection programs. It also will cover the cost of the state attorney general’s investigation.
The deal was approved by Judge Charles Breyer, whose district court in San Francisco oversaw VW’s $15.3 billion diesel settlement with the California Air Resources Board, U.S. Dept. of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency.
The consent decree is part of the national agreement, which earmarked $603 million from VW to settle similar consumer protection claims made against the company by 44 states.
