"Stellantis Commits to California's Strict Emissions Standards for Jeep, Dodge, and Ram Vehicles"

Stellantis, the maker of vehicles for Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep, has agreed to comply with California's strict vehicle emissions standards, which require a significant portion of new vehicle sales to be zero-emission or plug-in hybrid by 2030. This move aligns with Governor Gavin Newsom's efforts to combat global warming and follows the Biden administration's restoration of California's authority to set its own tailpipe pollution standards. Stellantis joins other major automakers in following California's rules, and the agreement is expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The company will also invest in electric vehicle charging infrastructure in California and other states that adopt similar regulations.
