From Transport Evolved.
Hot on the heels of the extraordinarily short-sighted ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court on what powers the EPA has to regulate, we’ve got a follow up story involving emissions and GM.
Not only has GM just been found guilty of overstating its fuel economy and understating its vehicles tailpipe emissions, but the fines for doing so… aren’t all that large.
Let’s dig in, and ask what we can do about it moving forward.
