Mass., September 22, 2015), arises from the Defendant's alleged intentional conduct of selling to consumers almost 500,000 diesel Volkswagen and Audi brand vehicles in the United States that contained "defeat devices" that were designed and intended to operate the vehicles' full emissions control systems only when the car was undergoing its periodic emissions testing while the emissions control systems would then mostly shut down after the emissions testing, including during regular driving conditions.

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. is engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing, distributing, and selling automobiles and other motor vehicles and motor vehicle components throughout the United States of America.
