The Trump administration has moved to weaken fuel efficiency standards for new cars, rolling back existing requirements on automakers. The change is expected to lower compliance costs for manufacturers while drawing criticism from environmental groups concerned about higher emissions and fuel consumption. The rollback covers corporate average fuel economy rules, a long-standing target in debates over climate policy and the auto industry.
Why now: A major policy rollback affecting the auto industry, consumers and emissions is drawing wide attention.
