General Motors Going Carbon Neutral by 2040

In a bold step toward a better tomorrow, General Motors has announced that it plans to go fully carbon neutral by 2040. GM continues to prioritize the environment by committing to a science-based approach to reaching climate targets.

A big part of this process will be transitioning GM brand lineups to electric vehicles. The automaker is committed to eliminating all tailpipe emissions from new light-duty vehicles by 2035. Chevrolet will play a big part in that, and the newly revealed Bolt and Bolt EUV show that the future of Chevy EVs is very bright indeed.

“With this extraordinary step forward, GM is making it crystal clear that taking action to eliminate pollution from all new light-duty vehicles by 2035 is an essential element of any automaker’s business plan,” said Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp.

In the walk-up between now and a carbon neutral future, General Motors will continue to invest in electric vehicles. GM will offer 30 EVs around the world by the middle of this decade, and 40 percent of new GM vehicles sold in America by 2025 will be fully electric.

Other ways GM will achieve carbon neutrality include sourcing 100 percent of the energy it uses in the United States from renewable sources by 2030. GM is also working with its supply change to implement meaningful changes and working with EVgo to expand its national charging network.

The future of Chevrolet certainly looks electrifying. Whether it’s the all-new Bolt EUV or the upcoming electric Chevy truck, you’ll find the latest advances from Chevy and GM right here at Aztenhoffer Chevrolet in Victoria, Texas.
