NSTcarsbikesandtrucks: California will halt all purchases of new vehicles for state government fleets from GM, Toyota, Fiat Chrysler and other automakers backing US President Donald Trump.
Between 2016 and 2018, California purchased US$58.6 million in vehicles from General Motors Co, US$55.8 million from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, US$10.6 million from Toyota Motor Corp and US$9 million from Nissan Motor Co .
“Removing vehicles like the Chevy Bolt and prohibiting GM and other manufacturers from consideration will reduce California’s choices for affordable, American-made electric vehicles and limit its ability to reach its goal of minimizing the state government’s carbon footprint, a goal that GM shares.”Starting in January, the state will only buy from automakers that recognize California’s legal authority to set emissions standards.
California purchased US$69.2 million in vehicles from Ford over the three-year-period, US$565,000 from Honda and none from the German automakers.
