Norm Minetta, Hill+Knowlton Strategies vice chair for public policy, has registered as lobbyist for the U.S Coalition for Advanced Diesel Cars, which advocates for a level regulatory playing field with gasoline/hybrid fuel power when it comes to national fuel, emissions and tax standards.
The 81-year-old is the nation’s longest servicing Secretary of Transportation, logging in five years during the Bush II White House. The ex-California Congressman also was Bill Clinton’s Secretary of Commerce.
Minetta’s job is to advocate for “technology neutral practices” to encourage and improve passenger vehicle technologies.
Coalition members include auto supply giants such as BorgWarner, Honeywell, Bosch and Johnson Mattey.
H+K was hired by DCI Group, which handles PR for the Coalition. |
