California Air Resources Board News Release #:11-08 Date:02/07/2011 ARB PIO: (916) 322-2990 CONTACT: Stanley Young 916-322-1309 syoung@arb.ca.gov CARB cautions car companies about Auto Alliance statements Mary Nichols asks them to disavow incorrect claims SACRAMENTO - Today, Chairman Mary D. Nichols released a letter sent to seven major automobile manufacturers challenging them to disavow claims made by the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers to Representatives Upton and Issa or risk returning to the environmental battles of the Bush era. Nichols expressed concern that misrepresentation of ongoing negotiations jeopardizes progress with the federal agencies to develop and implement vehicle emission standards that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California and nationwide while saving consumers money at the pump. Nichols also corrected several long-debunked claims made by the Alliance, and ended the letter by requesting that the CEOs take action to prevent the constructive relationship between the regulators and the companies from being undermined.
