Summary
A London court rejected most claims in a closely watched UK class action accusing Mercedes, Ford and Renault of using illegal defeat devices to cheat diesel emissions tests.
The ruling also covered Nissan and a Stellantis unit, following a 15-week trial over allegations tied to the decade-old Dieselgate scandal.
About 1.6 million claimants had brought the case, making the judgment a major setback for one of the UK's biggest emissions-related group actions.
