Trump rolls back fuel economy standards to 2014 levels
Original: Trump cuts fuel economy standards back to 2014 levels
The Trump administration has moved to cut US fuel economy standards back to levels last set in 2014, undoing stricter efficiency requirements for cars and light trucks. The rollback is expected to lower compliance costs for automakers while drawing criticism from environmental groups who warn it will increase fuel consumption and emissions.
Why now: The policy change affects automakers, consumers and climate goals, making it a significant regulatory reversal.
