SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California has settled a lawsuit against a German company stemming from the emissions scandal that tarred Volkswagen and Fiat Chrysler. German auto supplier Bosch will pay $25 million to settle allegations by the state and California Air Resources Board under a court complaint and settlement agreement both filed Monday. Volkswagen and Fiat Chrysler installed devices that made it seem like the vehicles were meeting emissions requirement. But the vehicles actually polluted at many times the legal limit. The complaint says Bosch knew or should have known that the automakers were violating environmental and consumer protection laws. The company isn’t admitting liability.
