Renault emissions diesel compensation claims

Since 2015, a number of regulators and investigators have been scrutinising car manufacturers over potential emissions fraud. The investigations were provoked when the Volkswagen “Dieselgate” scandal first reached the news, with the carmaker being subjected to allegations that it had used illegal defeat device technology to cheat emissions tests. French carmaker Renault has since come under suspicion, and if the accusations prove to be true, those who own or have owned affected vehicles may be eligible to make Renault emissions diesel compensation claims.

Our firm has played a pioneering role in emissions litigation since the beginning. As strong advocates of consumer rights, we saw that the “Dieselgate” scandal represented a significant injustice for thousands of people. We initiated High Court proceedings against Volkswagen to ensure that justice was done, and now we want to ensure that all other suspected carmakers are thoroughly investigated on behalf of customers who may have been subject to emissions cheating.

The allegations against Renault and latest developments

With suspicions soon arising after Volkswagen was first accused, pressure on Renault mounted in 2017, when it was revealed that the French government was reportedly investigating the carmaker over claims that it may have cheated emissions tests. Alongside a number of other well-known car brands, Renault was accused of using defeat devices in diesel cars as an illicit means of passing emissions tests. The carmaker denies any wrongdoing.

Defeat devices could provide a mechanism whereby the levels of NOx produced by vehicles are brought under control in testing settings, but they are then much higher in usual driving conditions. Renault was also officially charged by French prosecutors on the basis of alleged deceit, and the company had to reportedly pay a bail of €20m and a bank guarantee of €60m. With this added pressure in the French legal system, we believe that our investigations into Renault emissions diesel compensation could lead to damages pay-outs for our clients.

Our Renault emissions diesel compensation action

In our Renault emission diesel compensations action, we are pursuing claims on the basis that the carmaker may have acted deceitfully in its relations with customers. Those who bought Renault vehicles were likely led to believe that vehicles were compliant with all legal requirements. However, if allegations against Renault are found to be true, this would potentially not have been the case.

As part of your Renault emissions diesel compensation claim, you could be eligible to recover thousands of pounds in damages. In fact, some claimants may be eligible for claims based on a breach of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPUT), which means they could recover up to 100% of the original price paid for their vehicle, if allegations are proven to be true.
