Trump Administration Slashes Fuel-Economy Standards

Original: Trump Administration Slashes Fuel-Economy Standards and Changes How Light Trucks Are Classified

The Trump administration has announced a sharp rollback of US fuel-economy standards, while also changing how light trucks are classified under federal rules. The move lowers efficiency requirements for new vehicles and redefines vehicle categories in a way that affects pickups and SUVs. It is expected to draw opposition from environmental groups and states, while automakers may welcome reduced compliance costs.

Why now: The rollback has major implications for emissions, fuel costs and the US auto industry.
