Whoa, a 10-figure fine *for a giant corporation!? About time they made that shit hurt!

Then you'll love to hear how VW paid a $2.8 billion fine (in 2017) when they were caught doing the same thing!

VW probably had way more cars involved though, so the cost per car was lower.

I wouldnt underestimate how many cummins engines there are, lots of trucks, tractors and other large machines use them, some of which run constantly. If anything i would say they got off lighter than VW
