Because in 2020, five years later, Mercedes-Benz was also caught with its mouth in the bottle getting ready for its fumbles with diesel engines and paid 2.2 billion dollars to the US government for fraud in NOx emissions, nitrogen oxide, in 250 cars.

And it wasn’t just Mercedes and not just in the United States. Years later, in London, Mercedes, Ford, Nissan and Renault had to come to terms with the British government for the same mess.
