Sept. 18 (UPI) -- The European Union said Tuesday it is investigating German automakers for possibly colluding to limit development of emissions-saving technology on their vehicles.
The European Commission, the EU antitrust body, said it's investigating BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen for having discussions about limiting innovative systems to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions in diesel engines and particulate matter emissions from gasoline engines. The probe also includes Volkswagen subsidiaries Audi and Porsche.
