GM on EPA Granting California Emissions Waiver

2009-06-30 -- The EPA's granting of California's emissions waiver is not unexpected. The EPA's decision should not diminish the collective commitment and effort on the part of automakers, California, federal regulators and environmental interests to follow President Obama's direction toward developing a single, harmonized national standard that improves fuel economy and reduces vehicle emissions.

"We believe President Obama's national standard approach is a better way for the country and industry. A single, harmonized national standard will benefit consumers across America by putting cleaner, more efficient vehicles on the road quicker and more affordably -- for all. It is a goal that we fully support and which we've made a central part of our reinvention plans to create a new GM.
