Ford in criminal probe over emissions
A criminal investigation has been opened into the way Ford tests the emissions of its vehicles. The US Department of Justice took action after Ford alerted the US Environmental Protection Agency to potential problems in February. Ford said the issue did not involve the use of defeat devices, which were at the centre of the emissions scandal involving Volkswagen in 2015. VW was found to have used software that could cheat emissions tests. "We are fully co-operating with all government agencies. Because this matter is still in the preliminary stages, we cannot predict the outcome, and we cannot provide assurance that it will not have a material adverse effect on us," Ford said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
