Jan 15 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor  7203.T  unit Hino
Motors on Wednesday was charged with fraud in U.S. District
Court in Detroit for unlawfully selling 105,000 heavy-duty
diesel engines in the United States that did not meet emissions
standards.
    A company-commissioned panel said in a report in 2022 Hino
had falsified emissions data on some engines going back to at
least 2003, or more than a decade earlier than previously
indicated. The Justice Department said Hino had sold engines
that did not comply beginning in 2010 through 2022.
