Fiat Chrysler diesel emissions investigated in France
Industry regulators in the country have been looking into whether some FCA cars exceeded emissions limits. The move by French prosecuting magistrates comes after revelations in 2015 that German carmaker Volkswagen broke diesel tests in the US. France's consumer affairs body passed a file on Fiat Chrysler to the courts for possible investigation in February. Tests by French regulators last year, launched in the wake of the Volkswagen emissions test-cheating scandal, revealed pollutants from some Fiat Chrysler and other car maker's models exceeded regulatory limits. FCA said in a statement that its diesel vehicles "Fully comply with applicable emissions requirements" in Italy, where its European unit is based. The UK Department for Transport has also asked for details of a probe by the US Environmental Protection Agency into Fiat Chrysler diesel emissions software.
