He will fix it so you get money for the diesel scandal
Nearly a decade after the diesel emissions scandal rocked the automotive industry, Swedish car owners have yet to receive compensation for being cheated into purchasing vehicles with so-called "clean" diesel engines. This is set to change as we mobilize a group action of lawsuits against the car manufacturers involved.
Despite numerous legal victories and settlements in other European countries, Swedish consumers have not received any compensation.
As Swedish journalists Maths Nilsson and Åsa Wallenrund noticed this deception affected millions of consumers worldwide, including approximately 550,000 diesel car owners in Sweden. The cheat involved the exhaust gas treatment only working at a specific temperature. It is particularly problematic in Sweden, where it is often cold.
In a recent interview with Jan-Erik Berggren in Stockholm, Theis elaborated on the timing and potential of the compensation efforts:
Why Now?: There is a limit of ten years and there may also be less compensation for cars with higher mileage. Therefore, it is important to act quickly. The EU has clarified the illegality of the actions and affirmed that car owners are entitled to compensation.
Process and Costs: Joining the group action is straightforward and free for car owners. Legal fees will be deducted from the compensation received, typically ranging between 20-50% of the total amount.
Call to Action: Swedish owners of diesel cars and vans, especially models from 2014 onwards, are urged to join the group action. Klauberg aims to initially gather 1,000 car owners to start the process.
Environmental Impact and Future Implications: In the interview Klauberg highlighted ongoing issues with diesel cars, stating that no current diesel vehicle meets the necessary exhaust gas treatment standards, making it critical to address this ongoing deception for the sake of public health and the environment.
