ROBERT Bosch GmbH demanded eight years ago that Volkswagen AG (VW) indemnify it for using the emissions-cheating defeat device that it helped the carmaker create for its diesel engines, US car owners said in a new version of their lawsuit against both companies.
Bosch is accused in the lawsuit of conspiring with VW to develop technology that enabled diesel vehicles to evade pollution-control tests. After seeking legal protection from VW for its use of the device in the US, the German car-parts supplier continued to participate in the conspiracy to hide the cheating from regulators, car owners said in a court filing citing a 2008 letter from Bosch to VW.
