This is the first time in three years the agency has collected fuel economy penalties. The GM and Stellantis penalties were paid between December and May, according to the records. It had initially planned to use credits to meet its compliance shortfall but opted to pay penalties, NHTSA said. GM, which sells Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles in the U.S., had not previously paid a fine in the 40-year history of the CAFE program. GM said Friday as "we work towards the goal of a zero-emissions future, we may use a combination of credits from prior model years, expected credits from future model years, credits obtained from other manufacturers, and payment of civil penalties to comply with increasingly stringent CAFE regulations." Stellantis previously paid a total of $156.6 million in penalties for the 20 model years. Stellantis - which also owns Fiat, Peugeot and other marques - said the penalty "reflects past performance recorded before the formation of Stellantis, and is not indicative of the company’s direction."
The record-setting penalties include $235.5 million for Stellantis for the 20 model years and $128.2 million for GM covering 20, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which administers the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) program. fuel economy requirements for prior model years, documents seen on Friday by Reuters show. WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLAM.MI) and General Motors (GM.N) paid a total of $363 million in civil penalties for failing to meet U.S.
