AutoExec Summary
Polestar, an electric vehicle maker, has left the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) due to its opposition to the government’s proposed emission reduction legislation. The brand did not support the FCAI’s opposition to the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). Polestar believes that delaying the implementation of NVES will have negative environmental impacts and intends to cease its membership with FCAI. Other manufacturers, such as Tesla, may also leave the FCAI if it doesn’t accept the proposed emissions strategy. Isuzu Ute has expressed concerns about meeting the new emissions targets.
