Mercedes-Benz, along with Daimler, agrees to pay $149 million to settle emissions test cheating claims. The company is accused of using software to pass lab tests while emitting excessive nitrogen oxides in real-world driving. The settlement includes $120 million upfront and $29 million contingent on consumer relief, potentially benefiting 40,000 affected owners. This marks another step towards holding automakers accountable for greenwashing their diesel vehicles.
