General Motors will pay $145.8 million in fines and forfeit greenhouse gas credits for excess emissions. The settlement follows probes by the EPA and NHTSA on vehicles emitting 10% more than reported for 2012-2018 models.
The impacted vehicles, totaling 4.6 million light-duty pickup trucks and 1.3 million 'medium' SUVs, included popular models like Chevy Equinox, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Terrain. GM is not mandated to recall or fix the vehicles but has forfeited regulatory credits to compensate for the emissions.
The EPA's Administrator, Michael S. Regan, emphasized the importance of accountability and strong oversight in maintaining vehicle standards for public health benefits. This settlement reflects a commitment to reducing air pollution and protecting communities nationwide through environmental regulation.
