Taken for a Ride
Detroit's Big Three and the Politics of Pollution
by Jack Doyle 2000
page 29
... [T]he automobile manufacturers, through AMA, conspired not to
compete in [the] research, development, manufacture, and installation of
[pollution] control devices, and collectively did all in their power to delay
such research, development, manufacturing, and installation.
~US Department of Justice
confidential memo, 1968
...Lloyd Cutler...on behalf of...the Automobile Manufacturers Association (AMA)...
was defending...against a charge of industrial conspiracy. Nine
months earlier, the AMA - along with American Motors, Chrysler, Ford, and
General Motors - had been named by the Justice Department in an antitrust lawsuit
accusing them of conspiring for sixteen years to prevent and delay the manufacture
and use of pollution control devices for automobiles. 1"Beginning at least as early as 1953, and continuing thereafter...," alleged the DOJ complaint, "the defendants and coconspirators have been engaged in a combination and conspiracy in unreasonable restraint of interstate trade and commerce in motor vehicle air pollution control equipment.. . . "." The complaint charged that
the automakers, in violation of the Sherman Act, had:
• engaged in a conspiracy to eliminate competition among themselves in the research,
development, manufacture, and installation of pollution control equipment;
• engaged in a conspiracy to eliminate competition among themselves in purchas
ing patents on new pollution control equipment developed by outside parties...
page 328
...Detroit claimed that meeting emissions and fuel economy standards simultaneously was impossible and would later push for weakening air pollution standards in trade for gains in fuel economy. Yet Honda had already shown it could do both simultaneously, at least in its smaller engine. Again, in 1985, when GM and Ford were pushing to rollback fuel economy standards, Honda was the first to bring a 50 mile-per-gallon automobile to the US market with its Honda Civic CRX-HF model.
Later, as global warming began to enter the debate, Honda offered a 1991 TV ad carrying the theme, "Think What You Can Save," using time-lapse photography showing a rain forest sprouting up around a Honda Civic VX (which was EPA rated at 58 MPG highway)...was challenged by the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the US Business and Industrial Council, among others. The groups charged that Honda's ad implied that Civics preserved rain forests. Honda replied the ad only conveyed the car used less gasoline, which meant it would produce less emissions, including the carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming...
...as Honda became more of an upscale car producer...it appeared to pull back on fuel economy, at least in the policy area. By February 1991, Honda joined the Big Three in opposing a fuel economy bill...

"The country is headed toward a single and splendid government of an aristocracy founded on banking institutions and monied corporations, and if this tendency continues it will be the end of freedom and democracy, the few will be ruling and riding over the plundered plowman and the beggar"
