Ford sued for emissions cheating in diesel trucks

US auto giant Ford Motor Co has been accused of emissions cheating in a bid to promote its diesel engine trucks. A class action lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in Detroit in the state of Michigan, accusing Ford and German auto supplier Bosch of knowingly installing emissionscheating software devices in 2011-17 Ford 250 and 350 Super Duty diesel pickup trucks. According to Hagens Berman law firm, affected pickups that drivers paid $8,400 more than the gasoline edition for higher fuel efficiency, could pollute the air with NOx (nitrogen oxide) at levels up to 50 times of legal limits.
