Daimler says the lawsuit's claims are without merit and that the Justice Department investigation is unrelated. Daimler, the owner of Mercedes-Benz, has been told by the US Department of Justice to open its own investigation into its emissions testing process, following a class-action lawsuit being filed against the company. The lawsuit, which was launched in California last week, alleges that Daimler failed to disclose information about nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, and also alleged that it had misled regulators over how much NOx diesel cars emit Yesterday, the UK Government announced that the majority of the most popular vehicles sold in the country emitted up to six times more NOx on the road than when in test conditions.
