Cummins Inc. has agreed to pay an over $1.67 billion penalty to settle claims by regulators that the engine manufacturer unlawfully altered hundreds of thousands of pickup truck engines to bypass emissions tests. According to the U.S. Justice Department, which announced the agreement in principle Thursday, Cummins' alleged actions violated the Clear Air Act — a federal law that requires car and engine manufacturers to comply with emission limits. The $1.675 billion fine would be the largest civil penalty the Justice Department has secured under the Clear Air Act to date and second largest environmental penalty ever secured.

Hello everyone! The original creator of this community went inactive a long time ago and ever since the moderation and activity has gone down to pretty much 0 in this community. Although luckily, I was able to takeover, and I am hoping this community can be what r/Cars has been for on Reddit, a place for all car enthusiasts to gather and discuss. And speaking of r/cars on reddit, if we can get back to sustainable community growth here, we may be able to partner with r/cars, which can be huge for our community here on the Fediverse. This community, as a fellow car enthusiast, is really important to me and so far, we have not only removed multiple spam posts and placed bans on spam bots or rule breakers, we've also been testing banners and logos, we have also implemented rules and description which will continue to be refined. Finally, hope the community can comeback alive, if you are interested in cars, please do consider posting and interacting here. Thank you!
