Stellantis — the fourth-largest automaker in the world with brands like Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge — will sign onto the same framework negotiated by five major automakers in 2019 with the California Air Resources Board.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced an emissions deal with Stellantis on Tuesday. | Carlos Osorio/APCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom on Tuesday announced that auto giant Stellantis has agreed to support the state’s vehicle emissions standards, a move intended to insulate the state’s strictest-in-the-nation electric vehicle sales rules from a potential Trump administration.
“We want to continue to lead the world,” Newsom said in a press conference in Sacramento. “We’re not going to take a backseat in that effort, and today’s announcement only further accelerates that.” A group of Republican-governed states led by Ohio are challenging California’s clean cars waiver, arguing that California’s unique authority to set air quality standards violates the Constitution, under a legal theory that all states need to be treated equally. The case was heard in September in the District of Columbia Circuit Court and is expected to go to the Supreme Court.
The agreement with Stellantis similarly includes a commitment from the company to support California’s tailpipe emissions standards covering model years 2026-35, which are waiting for an EPA waiver. It also requires Stellantis to offer discounted electric vehicles in disadvantaged communities and contribute $10 million for installing public electric vehicle chargers.
