🚖Volkswagen To Pay $232 Million Settlement In Canada Relating To Diesel Emissions Scandal.
Volkswagen will be paying a settlement of up to $232 million (CAD$290.5) in Canada relating to excess emissions from 3.0-liter diesel vehicles sold there in recent years, according to recent reports.
In other words, owners of affected 3.0-liter diesel Volkswagen models will receive a portion of a total settlement pot of $232 million, if Volkswagen keeps to its word, as part of the deal.
There are “only” around 20,000 3.0-liter diesel Volkswagen (that title includes affected Audi and Porsche models) vehicle owners in Canada affected, so the settlement payouts should be fairly decent (averaging $11,600 per car). Notably, court approval of the settlement is still pending.
This follows on news that Volkswagen would be paying a CAD$2.5 million civil penalty in Canada as well.
