(Reuters) – Toyota Motor unit Hino Motors on Wednesday was charged with fraud in U.S. District Court in Detroit for unlawfully selling 105,000 heavy-duty diesel engines in the United States that did not meet emissions standards.
A company-commissioned panel said in a report in 2022 Hino had falsified emissions data on some engines going back to at least 2003, or more than a decade earlier than previously indicated. The Justice Department said Hino had sold engines that did not comply beginning in 2010 through 2022.
