Trump Approves Lower Fuel Economy Targets
Original: Trump Approves Lower Fuel Economy Targets, Calls Biden Rules ‘EV Mandate’
The Trump administration has approved lower fuel economy targets for US vehicles, with the president dismissing the Biden-era rules as an 'EV mandate'. The decision rolls back stricter efficiency standards that were designed to push automakers toward electric vehicles. It is likely to reignite debate over US climate policy and the future of the American auto industry.
Why now: The rollback of fuel economy standards directly affects automakers, consumers and US climate policy, making it a contested political topic.
