General Motors to stop making diesel and gas vehicles by 2035 – By James Crump (The Independent) / January 28 2021
‘It is so important that we accelerate toward a future in which every vehicle we sell is a zero-emissions vehicle,’ says CEO Mary Barra
General Motors (GM) has announced that it plans to end production of all diesel and gasoline powered cars, trucks and SUVs by 2035.
The company also aims to shift its entire fleet to electric vehicles by that date, as part of a plan to be carbon neutral by 2040.
To achieve that goal, GM is aiming to use 100 per cent renewable energy to power its US facilities by 2030 and its global areas by 2035. The worldwide target is five years earlier than a previously announced target.
GM’s announcement was made just one day after President Joe Biden signed multiple executive orders that put an emphasis on tackling climate change.
