The Green Machines Tour is forming alliances with UAW leaders, lawmakers, environmental groups and other stakeholders throughout the Midwest. Each Tour event brings attention to the potential for fuel-efficient vehicle technologies to help create good quality jobs in the heartland, and policy options that could help accelerate the production of these technologies. In many cases, the Tour also brings attention to advanced vehicles that are already being built by UAW members and sold in the U.S.
