AMSTERDAM (Reuters) -A Dutch court on Wednesday said diesel cars sold by Opel, Peugeot, Citroen and DS in the Netherlands from 2009 contained software designed to cheat emissions tests.

In its intermediary ruling in a class action suit brought by three organisations against Stellantis, which now owns the targeted car companies, the court did not determine whether any compensation should be paid.
