Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which lags the auto industry in fuel efficiency, purchased U.S. greenhouse gas emissions credits from rival automakers Toyota Motor Corp., Tesla Motors Inc. and Honda Motor Co., a government report said today.
The Environmental Protection Agency said FCA has purchased about 8.2 million megagrams of emissions credits. A megagram is equal to 1,000 kilograms and is calculated on emissions saved over legal requirements.
