The case filed in the Liverpool High Court, relates to a Mercedes diesel emissions scandal, which involves the alleged installation of illegal emission defeat devices to hundreds of thousands of diesel cars and vans, used to cheat emissions testing and limits.
In 2018, the German Federal Motor Transport Authority forced a recall of 774,000 Mercedes vehicles in Europe, regarding software fitted that has the potential to mask diesel emissions. A year later, the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) identified five possible defeat devices that Mercedes could have been using. There are currently hundreds of cases involving Mercedes-Benz's fraudulent actions pending in courts around the world. These cases include claims for damages and the right to return the vehicle without any financial losses.
Higher emissions of Nitrogen Dioxide (NOx) mean that customers may experience an increase in fuel bills and maintenance costs and that the performance of vehicles may be negatively affected. Moreover, diesel emissions are known to be harmful to adults, children, and the environment.
PGMBM is acting on a no-win, no-fee basis on behalf of individuals that were misled about the levels of pollutants that their vehicles were emitting. PGMBM believes affected customers should be compensated for Mercedes-Benz wrongdoings.
PGMBM is inviting anyone who purchased, financed or leased a diesel Mercedes car or van, manufactured between 2007 and 2018, to join their group action, as they may be eligible to claim compensation.
