Bosch sued over alleged role in VW diesel emissions scandal

German auto supplier Robert Bosch GmbH has been accused of conspiring with Volkswagen AG (VOWG_p.DE) to evade diesel emissions standards in at least 11 million vehicles worldwide in a class action lawsuit filed late on Monday. “Volkswagen’s fraudulent scheme was facilitated and aided and abetted by defendant Bosch, which created the software used in Volkswagen’s defeat device,” said the 56-page lawsuit, which accuses the parties of violating civil racketeering laws and consumer fraud.
