Dieselgate: $13.7 billion payout for US Volkswagen buyers

Volkswagen has paid US$9.5 billion (AU$13.3B) in settlements to American owners caught in the Dieselgate scandal. The US Federal Trade Commission released details of the payout earlier this week, outlining the compensation package for buyers of diesel Volkswagen models who were misled by the car company. In 2015, Volkswagen Group admitted it had used software to cheat strict emissions tests across its range of diesel vehicles – including models from Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche.
