General Motors CEO Mary Barra said the automaker will continue enhancing fuel efficiency and emissions standards even as the Trump administration is preparing to loosen those requirements.

"Every new vehicle we come out with, every engine we invest in for internal combustion we work to have significant improvement from a fuel economy perspective, from an emissions perspective," Barra said in an interview Wednesday during the DealBook Summit hosted by the New York Times.

Barra also defended GM's shifting approaches to investments in electric vehicles under the Biden administration and the Trump administration.

"If you look at the policies of each administration, you can't be blind to those," Barra said. "We have to make the investments to get to where the regulatory environment they set. We've seen a complete change in that 180 degrees one way and 180 degrees back. That's the world CEOs of automakers are living in."
