These are the same car manufacturers who lobbied the US Government to make it tax efficient to drive monster trucke, lobbied so that they would not advocate for fuel-efficient cars, and then sued California when that state mandated lower emissions.

To ram home the point that they intend to shift away from petrol, Mr Mulally and Mr Wagoner arrived for the meeting in hybrid fuel vehicles.
