The State of California has said that it will cease purchasing new vehicles for state fleets from GM, Toyota, Nissan, Fiat-Chrysler, and other members of the Global Automakers trade body, which has supported the Trump Administration in the battle over regulating car emissions and fuel efficiency.

According to a statement, the California Department of General Services will also “prohibit purchasing by state agencies of any sedans solely powered by an internal combustion engine.”
