The European Commission said
Wednesday that it has launched an infringement procedure against
Italy over the emission control strategies employed by Fiat
Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). The case regards use of defeat
devices, which lead to higher NOx emissions outside the test
cycle. The Commission said Italy had to respond to concerns FCA
had not justified the technical necessity - and thus the
legality - of a device used, and clarify whether it has failed
to adopt corrective measures and impose penalties on the car
manufacturer.
