VW probably had way more cars involved though, so the cost per car was lower.
I wouldnt underestimate how many cummins engines there are, lots of trucks, tractors and other large machines use them, some of which run constantly. If anything i would say they got off lighter than VW
VW also has a revenue that’s almost 10x as much as Cummins. It’s a “cost of doing business” write off for both of them, but a more expensive one for Cummins comparatively
And VW cratered due to consumer backlash. For Cummins, this is a marketing opportunity.
