This morning, 1 reaffirmed our stance on vehicle efficiency standards with the entire General Motors team. I hope you take the time to read thef i l l letter andjoin us on ourjourney: Team: Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 5 ED 002061 00181160-00001 As you may know, discussion continues in Washington, D C. and elsewhere about the efforts to revise current vehicle efficiency standards in the United States. I want to reaffirm General Motors' position on this important issue as you follow media coverage in the coming days. Throughout this process, we have been transparent about our priorities for modernizing current rules: General Motors supports establishing one national set of fuel efficiency requirements, with flexibilities that take into consideration recent industry developments such as vehicle sharing and self-driving electric vehicles. A single, national standard would allow us to focus our resources on innovations that benefit our customers and society as we pursue our vision of a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion, instead of diffusing resources to meet different rules within the United States. Regardless of the outcome of these discussions, I assure you we have an absolute and unwavering commitment to improve fuel economy, reduce emissions and invest in technologies to drive an all-electric future. These are the right actions for our customers, our company and our environment. In the meantime, while a zero-emissions future will not happen overnight, we are moving aggressively to get there. We are well on our way to introducing 20 new all-electric vehicle models globally by 2023. Over time, we expect the cost of our electric vehicles will be comparable to those powered by internal combustion engines. Until then, we support and advocate for various government incentives that encourage more consumers to embrace EVs and, of course, the environmental benefits they contribute to our world. And our zero-emissions journey isn't limited to EVs: Across 14 recent new-vehicle launches, we've trimmed an average of 357 pounds per vehicle, saving 35 million gallons of gasoline and avoiding 312,000 metric tons of C02 emissions per year. Climate change is real. We recognize the transportation sector is a contributor, and we must be part of the solution. At General Motors, we take this challenge seriously. It's a driving force behind our vision of a future with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion. Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 5 ED 002061 00181160-00002 Our technology, talent and global scale will ensure success in a low-carbon economy as we create a better world for today, and for generations to come. I have complete confidence that this is the team that will deliver on this commitment. m tb Sierra Club v. EPA 18cv3472 NDCA Tier 5 ED 002061 00181160-00003
