    The company does not admit wrongdoing and says no one in the company acted in bad faith, said Jon Mills, a spokesperson for Cummins Inc. in an email to USA TODAY.

    Cummins Inc. allegedly installed defeat devices on the engines of hundreds of thousands of 2013 to 20199 RAM 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, according to the Department of Justice. The DOJ also says the company installed defeat devices on the engines of 330,000 newer RAM pickup trucks.

    So that was a fucking lie.

    USA here. Can we please just start taxing fuel appropriately and remove subsidies? If fuel just cost what it actually costs (like the EU) then most of the problem goes away because only people who actually get work done with their truck’s will afford to run them and only while getting a job done. Currently 2/3 of the heavy duty trucks I see are grocery haulers for little boys.
