Abstract

In 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States uncovered a software modification implemented by Volkswagen that was capable of distorting the results of emissions tests of diesel engines. Drawing on a new study, Katharina van Elten and Britta Rehder explain what the accompanying scandal – dubbed ‘Dieselgate’ – has meant for legal conflict resolution in Europe.
