Daimler launches emissions probe at DoJ request
Daimler AG said late Thursday it's launching an internal probe at the request of the U.S. Justice Department into how it certifies emissions standards in its cars. The German carmaker said it is cooperating with authorities, which requested the probe on April 15. "Daimler will consequently investigate possible indications of irregularities and of course take all necessary actions," the company said in a statement. The probe comes on the heels of Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal that broke in September.
