US Set to Finalize Sharply Lower Vehicle Fuel Economy Standards

Original: LOWERING STANDARDS: US to Finalize Sharply Lower Vehicle Fuel Economy Standards

The United States is preparing to finalize significantly reduced vehicle fuel economy standards, a rollback of existing efficiency requirements for cars and light trucks. The move, reported under the banner of 'lowering standards', is expected to draw criticism from environmental groups while being welcomed by automakers seeking lower compliance costs. Debate is likely over its impact on emissions, fuel costs for consumers, and the country's climate commitments.

Why now: The planned rollback of US fuel efficiency rules is a contentious policy change affecting climate goals and the auto industry.
