Trump slashes vehicle fuel economy standards to 34.5 mpg by 2031
Original: Trump cuts vehicle fuel economy standards to 34.5 mpg by 2031
The Trump administration is rolling back US vehicle fuel economy standards, cutting requirements to 34.5 miles per gallon by 2031. The move loosens rules on automakers that had been set to tighten steadily under previous targets, reducing pressure to improve efficiency or accelerate electric vehicle production. Critics say it will raise fuel consumption and emissions, while supporters argue it lowers costs for car buyers and gives manufacturers more flexibility.
Why now: The rollback has immediate implications for car prices, fuel costs and US climate policy, prompting wide debate.
