Grant & Trust Opportunities Volkswagen Settlement - Environmental Mitigation Trust Volkswagen Settlement - Environmental Mitigation Trust On October 25, 2016, the United States District Court for the District of Northern California approved a settlement with Volkswagen (VW) addressing 2. 0 liter diesel engines.
This action was taken to partially settle allegations by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California that VW used illegal defeat devices on Model Year 2009 to 2015 diesel vehicles to evade emission tests, resulting in an exceedance of tailpipe emissions for nitrogen oxides (NOx).
The settlement requires VW to establish an environmental mitigation trust for states (including tribes, DC and Puerto Rico) to implement projects that reduce NOx emissions. In addition, a second partial consent decree was approved in December 2016 dealing with 3. 0 liter diesel engines.
