美国多个州的总检察长正在起诉大众汽车公司（Volkswagen），称其柴油排放作弊丑闻违反了州环保法规，尽管联邦监管机构和其中许多州已同意就违反消费者保护、美国环保署（EPA）和加利福尼亚州环保法规达成147亿美元的和解协议。

纽约、马萨诸塞和马里兰州今天提出了协调诉讼，指控违反了各州的环境和反欺诈法规。三个州都表示，大众汽车违反了空气质量法，并对绕过排放测试的失败机制采取了某种反欺诈措施。

这些诉讼将在今天晚些时候的新闻发布会上宣布，有几位总检察长出席。

“密谋大规模掩盖”

马萨诸塞州司法部长毛拉·希利在一份声明中说：“大众、奥迪和保时捷欺骗了马萨诸塞州成千上万的消费者，污染了我们的空气，破坏了我们的环境，然后，更糟的是，策划了一场大规模的掩盖行动，误导环境监管机构。”。

纽约司法部长埃里克T。施耐德曼发表了自己的声明，称“对大众、奥迪和保时捷的指控暴露出一种根深蒂固的企业傲慢文化，加上有意识地无视法治以及对公众健康和环境的保护。”

大众汽车在一份声明中回应了这些诉讼：

The allegati*** in complaints filed by certain states today are essentially not new and we have been addressing them in our discussi*** with U.S. federal and state authorities. Volkswagen continues to work cooperatively with the U.S. Department of Justice, the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board on a comprehensive national resolution of all remaining environmental issues arising from the diesel matter.

To date, Volkswagen has agreed to buy back or modify affected 2.0L TDI vehicles, establish a $2.7 billion environmental remediation trust for the benefit of all 50 states, and invest $2 billion for infrastructure to increase the use of zero emission vehicles across the United States.

It is regrettable that some states have decided to sue for environmental claims now, notwithstanding their prior support of this ongoing federal-state collaborative process.

尽管大众汽车已经同意与美国和各州监管机构达成数十亿美元的和解协议，但其在美国乃至全球与柴油机相关的法律诉讼远未结束。
