In Bosch\u2019s case, it delivered millions of engine control systems that were installed on various manufacturers’ cars starting in 2008 and whose software, in prosecutors’ words, “contained in part prohibited strategies” \u2014 leading to cars emitting more nitrogen oxide than permitted by regulators.<\/p>\n
