Daimler AG appointed investigators from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu to help gather documents and e-mails on its diesel-engine emissions, part of a probe requested by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The investigators are looking for indications the maker of Mercedes-Benz cars used illegal devices that shut off exhaust controls at several Daimler sites, Der Spiegel reported. The company confirmed external lawyers had been appointed as planned, to help gather information about how its cars’ emissions levels are calculated, spokesman Joerg Howe said in response to a request for comment from Bloomberg News.
