Emission standards are crucial to reducing the impact of vehicles on the environment. Unfortunately, in recent years the auto industry has come under fire for serious allegations of manipulation of test results. Diesel cars from several leading manufacturers were falsely presented as emissions-compliant vehicles, when in reality they were emitting significantly higher levels of pollutants than allowed.

Appearance of Compliance with Dieselgate

It is now known that several car manufacturers, including Renault, Opel, Peugeot, Citroën, Mercedes, Dacia and DS, were involved in what is now being called “Dieselgate. They installed software in their diesel cars that lowered emission levels during testing, but those levels rose when the cars were actually on the road.

As a result, diesel cars, once sold as more environmentally friendly, are emitting far more pollutants than we ever imagined. This has led to serious consequences for diesel car owners.

The Consequences for Owners of Diesel Cars

Because of this scandal, diesel cars have suffered significant depreciation in value, making them harder to sell. Furthermore, owners overpaid for cars that did not meet promised environmental standards.

If you own or have owned a diesel car of the brands listed and it was built between September 2009 and September 2019, it is very likely that you have overpaid due to manufacturer manipulation.

Right to Damages:Am I Eligible?

The good news is that as an aggrieved car owner, you are entitled to compensation. This includes those who leased a diesel car of the brands in question.

To be eligible for a diesel claim , you must meet the following criteria:

  1. You are the owner or former owner of a diesel car of the Renault, Opel, Peugeot, Citroën, Mercedes, Dacia or DS brands, or you have leased such a car.
