Original: U.S. to cut 2031 fuel economy target to 34.5 mpg
The United States is set to reduce its 2031 corporate fuel economy requirement to 34.5 miles per gallon, a significant loosening of standards that had been projected to rise more steeply. The rollback is expected to ease compliance pressure on automakers while drawing criticism from environmental and climate advocates who argue it will increase emissions and fuel consumption in the coming decade.
Why now: A major regulatory rollback on vehicle efficiency standards directly affects automakers, consumers and climate policy, prompting broad debate.
