5个汽车制造商在Diselgate多年后,因指称排放欺骗面临英国的审判。
Five automakers face UK trial over alleged emissions cheating, years after Dieselgate.
五大汽车制造商Ford、Mercedes-Benz、Nissan、Peugeot/Citroen和Renault-are将面对一个里程碑式的英国集体诉讼审判,审判指控使用软件操纵排放测试结果,这是在最初涉及大众的Dieselgate丑闻发生近十年之后发生的。
Five major automakers—Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Peugeot/Citroen, and Renault—are set to face a landmark UK class action trial over allegations of using software to manipulate emissions test results, nearly a decade after the original Dieselgate scandal involving Volkswagen.
该案件是英国和威尔士法律史上最大的案件,涉及220 000名车主和22家律师事务所,所有五家公司均否认索赔。
The case, the largest in English and Welsh legal history, involves 220,000 vehicle owners and 22 law firms, with all five companies denying the claims.
最初的丑闻源于美国环保局(EPA)发现大众车的“清洁柴油”车辆在路上排放的氮氧化物远远多于实验室试验,导致全球罚款总额约为570亿澳元。
The original scandal stemmed from the U.S. EPA’s discovery that Volkswagen’s “clean diesel” vehicles emitted far more nitrogen oxides on the road than in lab tests, leading to global penalties totaling around A$57 billion.
此后,大众已逐步淘汰大多数柴油客车,在澳大利亚只保留少数商业型号。
Volkswagen has since phased out most diesel passenger vehicles, retaining only a few commercial models in Australia.
联合王国审判的结果可能导致更多汽车制造商被带上法庭。
The outcome of the UK trial could lead to additional automakers being brought to court.
