Committee postpones hearing calling Detroit Three CEOs to D.C.
The Detroit News••business
Key Points:
- A Senate committee hearing featuring CEOs from Detroit's Big Three automakers—Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis—has been postponed from its original January 14 date due to objections from Ford regarding the hearing's timing, invite list, and subject matter.
- The hearing, initially scheduled during the Detroit Auto Show, aimed to address issues such as fuel economy regulations, vehicle affordability, and the transition to electric vehicles, but Ford cited conflicts with its own major events during the same period.
- Senator Ted Cruz, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, had invited Tesla's vice president of vehicle engineering but not CEO Elon Musk, which led Ford to request that all companies be allowed to send executives of equivalent rank.
- General Motors
