Nissan Quits Trump Now Too
Erik Shilling
Friday 8:15PM Filed to: NISSAN
A week-and-a-half ago, when GM announced that it was bailing on Trump I emailed every automaker still on Trumps side to see if they had any comment. That included Nissan, which responded then it doesnt typically comment on actions of competitors. Today, Nissan said it was bailing on Trump too.
Via The Associated Press:
You can expect more of the remaining automakers in the coming weeks to pull out of siding with the Trump administrations effort to stop California from making its own emissions rules, rules which probably will be going nationwide anyway.

Via The Associated Press:
Nissan said its pulling out because of confidence that discussions between the industry, California and the administration of President-elect Joe Biden can deliver a common-sense set of national standards that increases efficiency and meets the needs of all American drivers.
GM and Nissan were part of a coalition of 13 automakers that joined the Trump administrations legal fight. Nissans departure leaves Toyota, Fiat Chrysler, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Isuzu, Suzuki, Maserati, McLaren, Aston-Martin and Ferrari in the coalition.
We continue to support improvements in fuel economy and a framework that incentivizes advanced technologies while balancing priorities like the environment, safety, affordability and jobs, Nissans statement said.

Remember how many foreign vehicles were not allowed to be imported in the past ? The rest of the world saw the writing on the wall.

Pretty certain they know how to sell vehicles throughout the world that meet requirements

(5,530 posts)3. Sorry. I meant manufacturers in general.
All US built autos will have to meet stricter standards in other countries. I figure At some point all vehicles in the World will probably have to meet minimum standards. Since the 60's California has been a leader in emission controls and if they can't meet Cal standards they surely won't meet foreign standards.
