The panel van of a Mühlviertel-based company could bring a new wave of lawsuits against the German car giant: The Supreme Court confirmed a landmark ruling by the Linz Higher Regional Court that affects numerous customers. Not only private customers, but also corporate or club customers could be entitled to compensation.

A new milestone in the diesel emissions scandal that has been making the VW Group sweat for nine years, and this time it comes from Upper Austria! A company from Mühlviertel had sued the car manufacturer because its VW T 6 panel van, purchased in 2019 for 31,000 euros, was equipped with an unlawful defeat device.
