The Hague: The Dutch Consumer Association said Monday it was launching a class-action suit against BMW, alleging the luxury carmaker had falsified emissions data in some 100,000 vehicles sold in The Netherlands.
The Consumentenbond group cited studies it said showed software had been installed in BMW vehicles that lowered nitrogen emissions during testing.
"However, under normal driving conditions, these vehicles exhibit alarmingly high emissions," said the association, which launched the case with another group called Car Claim.
Consumentenbond head Sandra Molenaar said in a statement: "It's shameless how BMW misled both the inspection bodies and consumers."
"The company must take responsibility for this. We want BMW to compensate the consumers they misled," added Molenaar.
