Stellantis NV, owner of the Jeep and Ram brands, is petitioning against strict emissions standards adopted by California and 13 other states that it says give competitors unfair advantages.
The company alleges that California “improperly adopted” a 2019 deal negotiated by state regulators and four carmakers that allowed the manufacturers to voluntarily increase the average fuel economy of their fleets to about 50 miles per gallon (80 kilometers) by the end of the 2026 model year. Stellantis said it tried to join the deal, but was rebuffed by the California Air Resources Board.
