According to the lawsuit, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Volkswagen had utilized a "defeat device" in certain of its diesel cars that allowed such cars to temporarily reduce emissions during testing, while achieving higher performance and fuel economy and discharging dramatically higher emissions when testing was not being conducted; and (2) the use of this device allowed Volkswagen to market its diesel vehicles to environmentally conscious consumers, which increased its sale of diesel cars in the United States and abroad and its profitability. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
