Clean car rules require auto dealers to sell a certain percentage of low-emission and zero-emission passenger vehicles
Albuquerque, N.M.—The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the City of Albuquerque are announcing their coordinated rulemaking efforts to adopt New Mexico Clean Car Rules in New Mexico and the City in spring 2022.
“A Clean Car rule will combat climate change, improve air quality, makes more inexpensive cars available to New Mexicans and stimulate our economy,” said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham. “Tackling emissions from the transportation sector is an essential part of reducing New Mexico’s carbon footprint.”
Clean car rules require auto dealers to sell a certain percentage of low-emission and zero-emission passenger vehicles. With many New Mexicans frequently using vehicles for long trips, these rules will be especially impactful and are expected to eliminate nearly 2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 – the same as taking 200,000 cars off the road for an entire year.
“The franchised member dealers of the New Mexico Automotive Dealers Association look forward to working with the state and city in the development of clean car rules and the expansion of electric vehicle transportation in our state,” said Association President Charles Henson. “We also want to contribute to the development of local and state policies that facilitate additional infrastructure for electric vehicles.”
