"Cummins Settles $2 Billion Emissions Scandal, Recalls 600,000 Ram Trucks"
Diesel engine manufacturer Cummins has agreed to pay a record $1.675 billion to settle civil cases brought by the U.S. Department of Justice and the state of California for allegedly using "defeat devices" to bypass emissions laws in hundreds of thousands of engines. The settlement, the largest ever for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act, involves the recall of over 900,000 RAM pickups to update their emissions software. Cummins did not admit to any wrongdoing in the settlement but remains committed to its zero-emissions future strategy.
