“Volkswagen Lawsuit Galore in Braunschweig Court” – Investors’ attorneys file lawsuits against VW, figure said to be around 6,000

Attorneys Klaus Nieding and Andreas Tilp are names that are probably going to be memorable to the Braunschweig Court for a very long time. Earlier this month, Nieding and Tilp filed 6,000 lawsuits – 5,000 and 1,000 respectively – on behalf of investors against VW as a result of the emission scandal arising from September 2015.

These are huge numbers, and will no doubt come as yet another headache to the German automotive giants who are seeing law suits coming at them from all over the world.

“The End to all Volkswagen Diesel Vehicles in the US?”

Since late 2015, VW was barred from selling diesel vehicles affected by the emission scandal after it was discovered that these vehicles had an alleged “cheat device” installed in them.

One year on from the breaking of the scandal, there are still ongoing discussions on whether the German automaker will be allowed to resume sales of VW vehicles in the U.S. Even if they are allowed to sell the diesel vehicles in the U.S., it is not clear if VW will or not.

As it stands, their diesel vehicles are not hugely popular in the U.S. anyway.

Volkswagen Group gives indication of a final settlement in the U.S. over the Car Emissions Scandal: but negotiations remain ongoing

The big news back in April this year was that VW would reach a final settlement in the U.S, and Dietmar Voggenreiter, Audi’s global head of sales and marketing, has discussed that a ‘final’ settlement may well be on the table for this month or early November.

VW’s massive payout comes from them cheating emissions scandal that emerged in September 2015 when they were found to be using so-called ‘defeat devices’ which affected 11 million vehicles worldwide. VW have (in a fashion) admitted to cheating the tests using software that could switch off emissions controls when vehicles were not being tested.

Since then, VW U.S. has decided to make settlement payments to their affected customers.

Time is Money: A look in to why Volkswagen has yet to recall all affected vehicles

Yet again, Volkswagen have come under fire in the public limelight off the back of the ongoing emissions scandal.

BOSCH and VOLKSWAGEN: “the gruesome twosome in the cheating emissions scandal”

It seemed like things could not get any worse for the German manufacturing giants following the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal. However, the plot has thickened.

Multinational engineering and electronics company, Bosch, are alleged to be the Robin to Volkswagen’s Batman. Several reports, as well as claimant lawyers in the U.S., allege Bosch as a “knowing and active participant” (source) in assisting Volkswagen with cheating emissions and building the “defeat device” itself.

This device was installed in over 11 million vehicles so that vehicles would appear less polluting and pass tests with ease. Bosch continues to state that these claims are “wild and unfounded”.

VW’s Alleged Violation of EU Consumer Directives

In the midst of all the tension surrounding the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal, fresh claims have been made that VW has violated two EU Consumer Directives – specifically, the Consumer Sales and Guarantees Directive, and the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive – in 20 European countries.

The first directive is put in place to prevent companies like VW from exaggerating environmental claims when marketing their products. This is, arguably, exactly what VW did when they marketed the vehicles as “green” that instead had “defeat devices” installed in them. Their ‘false advertising’ was used for seven years or so with suggestions of their diesel engines being “clean diesel” engines.

Volkswagen’s commitment to settlement in the U.S. continues to anger UK victims!

Right now, we’re acting for thousands of people affected by the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal here in the UK. We’re confident we will win the cases, but, at the moment, Volkswagen is trying to dispute responsibility for paying people.

Obviously this is totally unfair; especially when you look at their progress in the U.S. where settlement packages are being negotiated.

We’re working with international lawyers and keeping up with progress across the pond, and its only serving to anger the UK victims who should receive compensation as well.

The fix has been approved for some five million vehicles affected, which accounts for almost half of those affected across the globe, and includes models like the SEAT Ibiza and the Volkswagen Polo.

Volkswagen sales slump in Ireland in wake of Emissions Scandal

July is an important month for car sales in Ireland, as it is the time of year when consumers look to upgrade their cars. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) released figures last month that showed an annual increase of 5.5% for car sales in Ireland.
