U.S. Seeks up to $48 Billion in Fines Against VW for Emissions Cheating

‘It’s been nearly four months since the news broke that Volkswagen had been cheating to get around diesel emissions standards, but the scandal is far from over. The federal government has filed suit against the German automaker, and today we learned that the Department of Justice is seeking up to $48 billion in penalties.

Reuters reports that Volkswagen could face fines of as much as $37,500 per affected vehicle for each of two separate violations, $3,750 for every “defeat device,” and an additional $37,500 for each day of violation. Those fines would have to be paid for the nearly 600,000 cars sold in the U.S. with the cheating software installed.’
