General Motors

General Motors on 9 January said it agreed to recognize California’s authority to set vehicle emission standards under the Clean Air Act.

The move will make the automaker qualified for government fleet purchases by the state of California, the automaker said.

The automaker made recognized the authority in a letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom. The automaker wrote “committed to complying with California’s regulations”.

“GM is joining California in our fight for clean air and emission reduction as part of the company’s pursuit of a zero-emissions future,” Newsom said. “This agreement will help speed up California’s nation-leading commitment to tackling the climate crisis.”

It was three years ago when Newsom announced the state would not purchase any GM vehicles for its government fleets because the automaker had supported then-President Donald Trump‘s efforts to prohibit California from making its own emissions rules.
