Maker of Jeep, Dodge and Ram vehicles to follow California emissions standards

Stellantis, one of the largest automakers in the world, agreed Tuesday to comply with California's vehicle emissions standards that are the toughest in the nation and require zero-emission and plug-in hybrid vehicles to make up 68% of new light-duty vehicle sales by 2030. The move by the company that makes vehicles for Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep was seen as a boost to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom's ambitious policies to curtail global warming.

The company also agreed to spend $4 million on installing electric vehicle chargers in parks and rural areas in California, Newsom's office said, while Stellantis will spend another $6 million on charging infrastructure in other states that choose to adopt California's rules.'We are all in — enthusiastically committed to this transition,' Newsom said. 'This is about jobs. This is about economic growth. This is about dominating one of the next great economic sectors.
