Trump administration cuts fuel economy standard to 34.9 mpg
Original: Trump administration cuts fuel economy requirement to 34.9 mpg from 50 in effort to improve vehicle affordability
The Trump administration has lowered the US fuel economy requirement to 34.9 miles per gallon, down from the previous 50 mpg target. Officials frame the rollback as a way to make vehicles more affordable for American consumers, arguing that stricter standards raised manufacturing costs. The move reverses tighter efficiency rules and is expected to draw criticism from environmental groups and supporters of climate policy.
Why now: The significant rollback of emissions and efficiency rules has major implications for car prices, the auto industry and US climate policy.
