Shares of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (NYSE:FCAU) gained 0.93% to $11.94 on Friday. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles won approval from U.S. and California regulators on Friday to sell 2017 diesel vehicles after it came under scrutiny for alleged excess emissions in older diesel vehicles.
Fiat Chrysler hopes to use updated emissions software in the 2017 vehicles as the basis of a fix to address agencies’ concerns over 2014-2016 Fiat Chrysler diesel vehicles after the Justice Department sued the automaker in May, alleging excess emissions.
Regulators contended the older vehicles had unrevealed emissions controls that allowed vehicles to emit excess pollution in normal driving.
