"A group of House Democrats is urging General Motors Co. and other leading automakers to join the four car manufacturers that have broken with the Trump administration and signed on to a deal with California to keep improving vehicle fuel economy.
"It is obvious that the momentum, both domestic and international, is leading us toward cleaner and more efficient cars of the future," Rep. Doris Matsui of California and seven other lawmakers said in a letter sent today to 14 companies, including GM, Toyota Motor Corp. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV. "We urge all automakers to come to the table and work towards pragmatic solutions that will better protect the planet while preventing years of litigation and economic uncertainty."
Matsui is a co-chair of the House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition; the other seven signers are also members. The new round of letters follows a similar series sent last week to the same automakers by 30 senators led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)."
