Wisconsin will receive part of a 149 million settlement with Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
The state will get over 630 thousand dollars to resolve claims that the automaker sold vehicles equipped with illegal emissions defeat devices. The Wisconsin Attorney General said the state had joined a coalition of 48 states and Puerto Rico that sued Mercedes. The coalition accused the company of using the devices to falsify emissions. Mercedes allegedly sold over 211-thousand diesel vehicles from 2008 to 2016 that contained the devices.
