Posted on May 3, 2019. 1.2K. The Trump administration is in the process of rolling back Obama-era fuel economy standards, which were originally set to hit an average of 54.5 miles per gallon for
3.26 percent average annual fleet-wide increase in fuel economy for both passenger cars and light trucks for MYs 2025–2026. • Alternative 2. Alternative 2 (Preferred Alternative/Proposed Action) would require an 8.0 percent average annual fleet-wide increase in fuel economy for both passenger cars and light trucks for MYs 2024–20262 The CAFE Standards: An Assessment: 13-30: 3 Technologies for Improving the Fuel Economy of Passenger Cars and Light-Duty Trucks: 31-62: 4 Impact of a More Fuel-Efficient Fleet: 63-82: 5 Potential Modifications of and Alternatives to CAFE: 83-110: 6 Findings and Recommendations: 111-114: Appendix A: Dissent on Safety Issues: Fuel Economy and
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a subagency of the Department of Transportation (DOT), unveiled the updated Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, which would require cars and lighter trucks to improve their respective fuel efficiencies by 2% and 4% starting in 2027, according to a DOT press release announcing the proposal.
Under the GHG standards, for the overall industry fleet-wide, the projected average GHG target in 2026 is 132 g/mile for passenger cars and 187 g/mile for light trucks. The projected average CAFE target in 2026 is 59.4 miles per gallon (mpg) and 42.4 mpg for passenger cars and light trucks, respectively.
WASHINGTON (March 31, 2020) - The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today released the final Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule setting corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) and CO2 emissions standards for model years 2021-2026 passenger cars and light trucks.
On August 28, 2012, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized the corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) for cars and light-duty trucks. the Corporate Average Fuel Economy standard Thomas Klier* and Joshua Linn** By 2016, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard will increase by 40%. This article focuses on the medium-run effects of fuel economy regulation. We estimate consumers' willingness to pay for vehicle characteristics. We employ a novel empirical strategy thatIf adopted, the changes will substantially downgrade the fuel-efficiency ratings given to EVs and be used to determine corporate average fuel economy (better known as CAFE).
Overview. On July 18, 2016, NHTSA, EPA, and CARB completed the first step in the mid-term evaluation process for CAFE and GHG emissions standards for model years 2022-2025 by issuing a Draft Technical Assessment Report (TAR).The Draft TAR evaluates fuel economy improvements made in response to CAFE and GHG emissions standards so far, and how In April 2020, NHTSA and EPA amended the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and greenhouse gas emissions standards for passenger cars and light trucks and established new less stringent standards, covering model years 2021 through 2026.
