After class action
VW emissions scandal: 23 million euros in compensation
Victims of the long-running Volkswagen emissions scandal who joined the class action brought by the Association for Consumer Information (VKI) have now received compensation. The association was able to obtain 23 million euros for around 10,000 victims.
The class action lawsuits have been running since 2018 and date back to the allegations against VW of installing manipulated engine software in diesel vehicles in 2015 (see below).
On average, each affected person is entitled to 2300 euros, but the actual amount paid out depends on the purchase price of the car.
The diesel or emissions scandal, also known as Dieselgate, refers to the illegal manipulation of emissions values by several car manufacturers such as Audi, VW, Daimler and BMW as well as companies such as Bosch since 2015. These practices were aimed at circumventing legal limits for car emissions, while at the same time political influence was exerted to safeguard these activities.
