Carmakers on Trial: UK’s Largest Emissions Lawsuit Unfolds

Some of the world’s biggest car manufacturers are facing one of the largest mass lawsuits in English legal history, as over 1.6 million drivers accuse them of cheating diesel emissions tests. The case, now before London’s High Court, echoes the infamous Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal that shook the auto industry a decade ago.

The lawsuit targets Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Nissan, Renault, and Stellantis-owned Peugeot and Citroën. Claimants allege the companies installed unlawful “defeat devices” — software designed to detect when vehicles were undergoing emissions testing and temporarily reduce pollution levels. On the road, however, the cars allegedly emitted far higher levels of harmful gases than permitted by law.

Lawyers for the claimants argue the manufacturers “would rather cheat than comply with the law,” while the companies strongly deny wrongdoing, insisting their systems were legally and technically justified.

The outcome of this trial could have sweeping consequences for the auto industry, potentially leading to billions in compensation and reshaping how carmakers are held accountable for environmental compliance.
