Car Makers ‘Would Rather Cheat Than Follow Law’ Over Emissions, High Court Told

The main trial is due to conclude in December. Alamy/PA

Around 1.6 million motorists are taking legal action against more than a dozen manufacturers over claims that several diesel vehicles made from 2009 onwards contained “prohibited defeat devices” (PDDs).
