Trump Administration Finalizes Rollback of Obama Gas Mileage Standards – By Sean Moran (Breitbart) / March 31 2020
The Trump administration on Tuesday announced its rule to replace the “unachievable” Obama gas mileage and emissions standards.
The Department of Transportation’s (DOT) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule. The rule sets corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions standards for the model years of 2021 to 2026 passenger cars and light trucks.
“This rule is the largest deregulatory initiative of this administration,” the EPA noted in its press release on Tuesday.
EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a statement on Tuesday:
We are delivering on President Trump’s promise to correct the current fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards. Our final rule puts in place a sensible one national program that strikes the right regulatory balance that protects our environment, and sets reasonable targets for the auto industry. This rule supports our economy, and the safety of American families.
