Stellantis rejects claims of lobbying for EV mandates under Trump
- A New York Times report alleged that major automakers were working to maintain EV mandates.
- Stellantis publicly denied these claims and emphasized its readiness to adapt to market changes.
- The auto industry seeks stability in regulations that align with current market conditions and avoid increased costs.
In the United States, a recent report from the New York Times claimed that top automakers were lobbying to maintain electric vehicle mandates during the Trump administration. This report indicated that companies like Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis sought to keep Biden-era climate regulations in place. However, Stellantis has pushed back against these claims, clarifying that they are not lobbying for the preservation of electric vehicle mandates. Instead, a letter from the Alliance for Automotive Innovation to Trump expressed that current emissions regulations are problematic for the auto industry. The letter emphasized the need for stable regulations that align with market realities and mentioned that the regulations could increase costs for consumers.
