On January 28, 2021, GM announced that it will end production and sales of fossil-fuel vehicles (including hybrids and plug-in hybrids) by 2035 as part of its plan to become carbon-net zero by 2040. This also comes after President Joe Biden introduced legislation to rejoin the UN Paris Agreement and implement stringent vehicle emission standards. This will allow General Motors to transition into becoming a leading electric vehicle manufacturer and become a leading participant in Joe Biden's ambitious climate plans to fight climate change.
