Volkswagen strikes 'dieselgate' compensation deal with German consumers


FRANKFURT, Germany - German giant Volkswagen has struck a compensation deal with domestic consumer groups representing owners of cars caught up in its "dieselgate" emissions cheating scandal, a court said Friday.

"The consumer federation and Volkswagen have come to a comprehensive agreement," in a first-of-its-kind collective lawsuit brought by around 400,000 diesel car drivers, the Brunswick higher state court said, weeks after talks between the two sides broke down in acrimony.
