GM misses some sustainability goals, rewrites targets

General Motors Co. says it will create new, sustainable product commitments after achieving mixed results on five goals set year ago related to reducing carbon-dioxide tailpipe emissions and rolling out more electrified vehicles and fuel-efficient cars.

The automaker, in its 2016 Sustainability Report released in June, said while it met a goal to double the number of vehicles with 40 miles per gallon or more highway fuel economy by this year, it expects to fall well short of having a half-million electrified vehicles on the road in 2017. The company blames low gas prices, poor consumer acceptance and more competition for missing the mark.

“We are now focused on establishing a new set of product commitments that tie performance more closely to our internal capabilities rather than market forces beyond our control,” GM said in the report.

The automaker declined comment on those changes and when they would roll out.

In fall 2012, GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra announced a target of 500,000 vehicles that would be powered in some way by electricity including plug-ins, pure electrics and hybrids. Barra then led GM’s global product development organization.

GM reported it had 243,133 electrified vehicles on U.S. roads last year, up more than 23 percent from 197,065 in 2015; 177,756 in 2014; and 150,623 in 2013.

The automaker late last year launched the 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, a pure-electric with an estimated 238 miles of range that starts at less than $30,000 after factoring in up to a $7,500 federal income tax credit.

In some ways i feels like that they are contridicting themselves by promoting climate change as the main motivation factor for commitment to an all electric zero- emmision future. Its not about the climate, its about making electric cars more attractive, so that they can earn more money. Are they gonna stop producing gasoline cars for the sake og the enviroment?

Page 19 of the Sustainability report
"We have an unwavering commitment to an all-electric,
zero-emissions future, regardless of any modifications
to future fuel economy standards."

This is obviously a blatant lie since they still produce non-electric cars. if your commitment is "unwavering", stop producing reg-fuel cars - you have working electric cars. Produce those.

Page 6 of the Sustainability report mentions the AV Cruise Safety Report - in which they also mention the Zero emission vision, but actual data on emission is mentioned nowhere in the report.
