Since 2015, when it was revealed that Volkswagen\u2019s diesel cars may have been emitting far more nitrous oxide emissions (NOx) than allowed by emissions regulations, we have been pursuing claims against car manufacturers on behalf of affected vehicle owners. We knew that the Volkswagen dieselgate scandal was only the tip of the iceberg, and many major carmakers have similarly been subjected to allegations that they may have cheated emissions tests. We have launched several emissions compensation actions in our effort to ensure that all those who may potentially be affected by car emissions scandals can access the compensation that we think they deserve.<\/p>\n

So far, only Volkswagen has been found to have used defeat devices in the courts of England and Wales, and we initiated High Court proceedings against the company in 2016. In the subsequent actions, we want to use our experience of emissions litigation to hold adiesel vehicle manufactured ny other potentially guilty car manufacturers to account.<\/p>\n

Where carmakers have broken emissions regulations, they may also have broken consumer rights law. You have a right to expect that manufacturers and dealers are honest about the vehicles they are selling to you. As such, where they have breached this duty, you could be eligible to make an emissions claim with us<\/strong><\/a> to ensure you receive the compensation that you deserve.<\/p>\n

The diesel emissions scandal – in summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 2015, it emerged in the news that Volkswagen may have cheated emissions tests by using defeat devices. Defeat device technology, in some cases, is said to allow diesel cars to disguise the volumes of NOx emissions they produce in order to pass emissions testing. However, when they are on the road, the emissions output could exceed\u00a0 the regulatory limits.<\/p>\n

Since the Volkswagen allegations came to light, a number of other car manufacturers have been targeted with similar accusations, leaving millions of diesel car owners with the possibility that their vehicles may be problematic. It seems the alleged deceit may have spread far and wide across the car manufacturing industry, and we intend to investigate the allegations that are being made.<\/p>\n

Emissions compensation actions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For some time now we have been pursuing emissions compensation actions against Porsche, Mercedes, Nissan and Renault, Jaguar Land Rover and Fiat. This has been expanded with legal actions to include the following carmakers:<\/p>\n
