GM Announces Goal to Eliminate Gas and Diesel Vehicles by 2035
It’s one thing for the state of California to announce that it will no longer allow the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035. It’s quite another when an automaker announces essentially the same thing. Today, General Motors CEO Mary Barra unveiled the automaker’s proposal to make GM a net-zero-carbon company. That means phasing out of light-duty vehicles that run on gasoline and diesel by 2035.
GM already accelerated its electric-vehicle plans back in November and now intends to build 30 new EVs by 2025. Now Barra has announced an even bolder clean vehicle plan that eliminates gas cars from the company and that might take consumers and the industry a while to fully comprehend.
The plan is to stop the production of gas-powered light-duty vehicles by 2035 and transition completely to electric vehicles to eliminate tailpipe emissions. It’ll be a transition that will take 14 years and, as time progresses, many of your favorite GM vehicles will switch from gasoline to electricity—yes, even the Corvette (or whatever GM decides to call it in the future).
GM's factories are also going green. Barra announced that all U.S. factories will use renewable energy by 2030 and global factories will switch over by 2035. Suppliers will also be pulled into the plan as GM plans to set ambitious targets to reduce emissions and source more sustainable materials. To achieve this metric, it will establish a sustainability council that will learn and share best practices with others in the industry.
