EU car emissions targets contrast sharply with loosened US rules

Original: The European Union has set a target for car emissions of 93.6g CO2/km (2025-2029), 49.5g CO2/km (2030-2034) and 0g CO2/k

The United States under the Trump administration has moved in the opposite direction, loosening its rules to permit fleet averages of roughly 157g CO2/km. Commenters highlight the growing transatlantic divide on vehicle climate policy.

Why now: The stark divergence between EU and US emissions policy under the Trump administration is drawing attention.
