Could this be the right move towards compensation?
The pressure comes from several MPs on the Transport Select Committee (TSC) who slammed Volkswagen for turning their backs on U.K. consumers. Although Volkswagen admitted guilt in the U.S. and paid out billions of dollars, Volkswagen is still denying any liability here.
The TSC MPs are disgusted with the way Volkswagen are treating their U.K. consumers with “complete disregard”.

Volkswagen has been desperately trying to move past the emissions scandal since their first settlement agreement back in October 2016 in the U.S., which has so far set back the cheating automaker $14.7 billion (£11.8 billion).
In recent news, the VW Group have agreed to pay $157 million (£126 million) to settle environmental claims in 10 U.S. states. The 10 states involved are New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Since Volkswagen’s “defeat device” behaviour was published in the media in September 2015, the VW Group has received constant limelight ever since. Although German prosecutors remain hopeful that the first legal rulings will be concluded at the end of the year, VW’s chairman believes this will be far from the case.
And we are not surprised!

In the midst of the criminal and civil probes, Volkswagen expressed their distinct opposition to German prosecutors searching their solicitors’ firm, Jones Day.
VW said that the search was “unacceptable in every respect”.
According to USA Today, the search was conducted as a result of burning questions about whether certain members of the VW managerial board were involved in, or responsible for, the emissions scandal. The German automaker said that the search was a”“clear breach of the principles of the rule of law”, namely the code of criminal procedure. They noted that if they continue to breach these principles, they would “take all action at our disposal against these proceedings”.

Although VW Canada has a settlement proposal on the table, the presiding judge has commented that it may not be in the best interests of the consumers.
On 31st March 2017 the Ontario Superior Court of Justice held an approval hearing for the 2.0 TDI litre vehicles aka the TDI Settlement Agreement applicable to Canada (outside of Quebec). This hearing followed a hearing on 22nd March in Quebec held by Justice Marie-Claude Lalande.
But the question now is whether this settlement will be good for the victims or not…

It’s just problem after problem for VW.
Although VW U.K. has tried to rectify their emissions wrongdoing by offering a free software upgrade to all affected vehicles, many owners have reported adverse effects and alleged that it’s because of the ‘fix’.
And the reports of problems continue to flood in.

French car maker Renault has been accused of rigging their vehicles to pass official emissions testing amongst the host of others in the spotlight like VW right now.
It’s believed that the conspiracy went all the way to the top with even the Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn being aware.
At present, Renault deny any wrongdoing; but if the allegations are found to be true, we may have yet again another carmaker who seems to be putting profits before people and our fragile environment…

It’s been months since Volkswagen publically reminded us that compensating victims of the scandal in the UK was unnecessary because a simple ‘fix’ would solve everything.
Victims here were not happy to hear this, especially when U.S. customers are receiving up to $40,000 each through generous buy-back schemes and compensation payouts.
We already know that the so-called ‘fix’ may be causing issues because many of our own clients have reported problems. So, we weren’t surprised to hear that Swedish testing has also revealed issues with VW’s so-called ‘fix’ as well.
The damning evidence is mounting…

A German Environmental Aid, Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH), has recently announced a lawsuit as a result of the emissions scandal arising from VW diesel engines.
Some vehicles have shown excessive nitrogen oxide emissions even after the software updates – aka the emissions “fix” – according to the Federal Managing Director of the environmental aid, Jurgen Resch.
We’re not surprised by the results, and we’re not surprised that VW are facing yet another legal action either!

VW are doing better with admitting liability nowadays… well, in the U.S. they are!
On 10th March, VW pleaded guilty in the U.S. over the ‘dieselgate’ scandal. However, it doesn’t reflect their position in Europe. NY Times states that the ‘troubles may be just beginning’ on the continent, and we agree.
Ultimately though, victims here in the U.K. are being denied access to justice, yet our U.S. counterparts are receiving damages.

The excessive air pollution caused by the Nitrous Oxide emissions from Volkswagen Group is allegedly causing early deaths for thousands in Europe, and may continue to do so unless the affected cars are made to comply with emissions legislation.
A thorough study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has reportedly found that Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat affected vehicles are emitting so much Nitrous Oxide pollution that an estimated 3,400 people may have already died prematurely in Europe.
Once again, this news just hits home at how serious the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal truly is.
