Düsseldorf court rejects suit seeking ban of VW diesel cars

A Düsseldorf court has dismissed a suit by lobby group Environmental Action Germany (DUH) seeking a ban of certain Volkswagen diesel cars from the city’s roads, Anneli Palmen reports for Reuters. DUH argued that Volkswagen diesel cars with emissions test cheating software should be banned because emissions remain too high, even after software updates. The Düsseldorf case was the first in a series of DUH suits in 10 German cities. DUH told Clean Energy Wire a crucial ruling by Germany’s Federal Administrative Court expected on 22 February would determine whether German cities could use diesel driving bans to stay within EU air quality limits.
