Stellantis Works with California on Emissions Reduction

Stellantis has been working hard towards its commitment to ecofriendliness and carbon neutrality by revamping operations and releasing electric vehicles, but that isn’t all that the automaker has been up to! Recently, the company announced a partnership with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a major step in Stellantis achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2038.

As part of this new agreement, Stellantis has pledged to work towards electrification education for its U.S. customers and dealers, spreading the word about the benefits of EVs. This will include collaborating with Veloz, the leader in EV awareness efforts, providing discounted EVs to organizations in disadvantaged communities, and continuing efforts to the installation of public chargers, as well as contributing an additional $10 million to the cause.

“Together, we have found a win-win solution that is good for the customer and good for the planet,” said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares. “This agreement will avoid 10 to 12 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over the lifetime of the agreement and will also allow our U.S. customers to fully benefit from our advanced technologies, including five plug-in hybrids and two pure electric vehicles. We remain as determined as ever to offer sustainable options across our brand portfolio and being a leader in the global decarbonization efforts.”

“This partnership with Stellantis will help California achieve our ambitious goals to drastically cut pollution and get more clean cars on the roads,” said California Governor Gavin Newsom. “The biggest and most influential companies in the world understand that this is how we can fight climate change together, and it’s another example of the private sector joining California to help millions of people get into clean vehicles.”

“California’s work with leading manufacturers is an example of the collaboration that will clean our air, combat climate change and improve health outcomes for residents in the state,” said CARB Chair Liane Randolph. “Importantly, industry collaboration helps accelerate the deployment of zero-emissions options that will make a more sustainable future possible.”

“California’s persistent air pollution and the growing threat of climate change require action and innovation, and our collaboration with Stellantis is an example of the industry partnerships that will further a clean air future,” said CARB Executive Officer Dr. Steven Cliff. “Collaborations like this ensures healthier air for Californians and certainty for manufacturers.”
