Dieselgate II: Cummins Chapter (pickup trucks, buy, engines, emissions)

[OutdoorLover]

Cummins has paid a settlement fine of $1.7 Billion dollars "the largest civil penalty ever issued under the Clean Air Act and the second-largest environmental penalty ever levied." Urr, plus $300 Million dollars for pollution remedies. Apparently they installed a range of emissions defeating software and hardware devices into their engines that went into Ram pickups over a 10-year period. Nearly 1 million pickup trucks have these modifications.

Remarkably, as part of the settlement terms, Cummins has admitted no wrongdoing, and in fact they publicly insist that nothing was done in bad faith! Ten years of installing cheating systems into 1 million pickup engines, and they maintain, that it was all just you know, 1 million accidents. Ooops! LOL

Hey! Lobbyists buy Congressmen and Supreme Court Justices all the time, may as well put those responsible for things like enforcing the Clean Air Act on the auction block as well.
