GM Fined $146 Million for Excess Emissions in 5.9M Vehicles

EPA investigation reveals significant CO2 underreporting in GM models from 2012 to 2018, leading to substantial penalties and forfeited credits.

General Motors will pay nearly $146 million in penalties for excess emissions from older vehicles.
The EPA found GM's vehicles emitted 10% more CO2 than initially reported, affecting 5.9 million cars.
GM will also retire approximately 50 million metric tons of greenhouse gas credits.
The affected models include popular vehicles like the Chevrolet Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade, and Chevy Silverado.
GM has not admitted to any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the issue.
