A federal court in San Francisco is soon expected to announce the details of Volkswagen’s $14.7 billion settlement of claims related to its emissions-rigging scandal.
U.S. owners of cars with 2-liter diesel engines can choose to either sell their car back to VW or get a repair. They each will also receive compensation of $5,100 to $10,000, according to a person briefed on the settlement talks.
The settlement also includes $2.7 billion for environmental mitigation and another $2 billion for research on zero-emissions technology, the person said.
