Stellantis Forges Alliance with California to Advance Clean Car Standards

SACRAMENTO — Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that Big Three automaker Stellantis – whose brands include Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and more – has agreed to a series of initiatives that will reduce pollution and ramp up clean vehicles on the roads. This follows the framework agreements that other top automakers have already signed on to with California.

The agreement with Stellantis is the latest example of California’s ongoing collaboration with vehicle manufacturers to accelerate cleaner technology, provide industry certainty, increase consumer options, and improve public health.

Commit to ZEV Sales Targets, Cut Pollution

Under the agreement, Stellantis will avoid up to 12 million additional metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions through the 2026 model year – equivalent to the emissions from more than 2.3 million vehicles driven in an entire year. 

Furthermore, Stellantis will comply with California’s zero-emissions light-duty vehicle sales requirements through 2030 even if CARB is unable to enforce its standards as a result of judicial or federal action.

Stellantis has also committed to support California’s authority under the Clean Air Act for its greenhouse gas emissions and zero-emission vehicle standards

Support ZEV Adoption

Stellantis will undertake additional actions to support ZEV adoption, including discounts on new cars for car-share programs in disadvantaged communities, financial support of brand-neutral ZEV public awareness campaigns, ride-n-drive events, and dealership actions to ensure availability of ZEVs.
