New Mexico is suing Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi and their US subsidiaries units over the German car maker's excess diesel emissions, joining the states of Texas, West Virginia and Harris County, Texas. VW also faces investigations by 48 US state attorneys. The lawsuit filed in a Texas court on Friday alleges that Volkswagen violated federal clean air laws when it installed software to cheat emissions tests for its diesel-powered cars sold since 2009. The company has blamed the deception on a small group of employees. The US Justice Department and German prosecutors are also investigating the company.
