Fiat faces trial on fraud charges from French prosecutors concerning emissions-tampering linked to diesel vehicles sold between 2014 and 2017. The prosecutors allege these vehicles exceeded nitrogen oxide emissions limits, posing health risks. This trial demand follows previous cases against Volkswagen, Peugeot-Citroen, and Renault. The emissions scandal, which began in September 2015 with Volkswagen's admission of tampering, has affected the global automotive industry significantly. Additionally, nearly one million French customers incurred servicing costs due to the exposure of the emissions violations.
French prosecutors have accused Fiat of aggravated fraud related to emissions-tampering with diesel engines exceeding regulatory nitrogen oxide emissions from 2014 to 2017.
This demand for a trial represents the fourth instance in France against major car manufacturers following the emissions scandal involving Volkswagen and other companies.
