BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

European Commission fines VW unit more than $1 billion

September 28, 2017 Reprints

The European Commission has fined German automaker Volkswagen A.G.'s Swedish unit Scania A.B. more than $1 billion for fixing truck prices, Bloomberg reported. The EC said that Scania colluded for 14 years with five truck manufacturers on truck pricing and on ways to pass the costs of new technologies to meet stricter emission rules. "This cartel affected very substantial numbers of road haulers in Europe, since Scania and the other truck manufacturers in the cartel produce more than nine out of every 10 medium and heavy trucks sold in Europe," said Margrethe Vestager, EU's competition commissioner.
