Since the VW admission I've been saying that probably all automakers cheat, VW
just got caught.
How long until we find out how many lithium miners die for each Prius?

AIR POLLUTION:Mercedes owner sues Daimler over alleged rigged diesel
testsPublished:
Friday, February 19, 2016
A Mercedes diesel car owner is suing Daimler AG on the grounds that the
manufacturer programmed its clean diesel vehicles to emit more nitrogen
oxides than legally allowed.
The New Jersey suit was filed by the law firm Hagens Berman, which has
played a lead role in litigation over a similar scandal at Volkswagen AG.
That German automaker admitted last September 2015 that it had rigged its
vehicles to cheat U.S. diesel emissions tests (*Greenwire*
<http://www.eenews.net/greenwire/stories/1060025183/>, Sept. 23, 2015).
The U.S. Justice Department last month filed a $46 billion lawsuit against
Volkswagen (*ClimateWire*
<http://www.eenews.net/climatewire/stories/1060030113/>, Jan. 5).
Daimler has denied repeatedly any accusation of rigging emissions tests and
said today the suit was unfounded. Hagens Berman, however, said its on-road
testing had shown Mercedes' clean diesel vehicles emitting an average of 19
times the legal NOx emissions (Reuters/London*Guardian*
<http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/feb/19/mercedes-owner-files-us-suit-over-diesel-emissions>,
Feb. 19). *-- BTP*
