Dieselgate and the legal consequences of the manipulation of air pollution emissions

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the present article is the analysis of the well-known ‘Dieselgate’ affair, which has involved Volkswagen. The scandal in question concerns the installation of software (‘defeat device’) to manipulate the results of emissions tests that in fact did not corresponded to the values declared in the approval certificates of vehicles produced by Volkswagen. In addition, through advertising campaigns, Volkswagen promoted its car models as particularly environmental friendly, illegally using environmental and green claims. These activities of the German car manufacturer led to many legal actions both in Europe and in the United States. The aim of the article is to present the administrative proceedings and the current legal situation of the ‘Dieselgate’ scandal in Poland and in Italy.
