Trump Administration Sharply Scales Back Fuel Economy Rules

Original: Trump Sharply Scales Back Fuel Economy Rules

The Trump administration has moved to sharply scale back US fuel economy standards, easing requirements that automakers improve the efficiency of cars and light trucks. The rollback, reported by The New York Times, is likely to be welcomed by carmakers seeking lower compliance costs but criticised by environmental groups who say it will increase emissions and fuel consumption.

Why now: A major regulatory rollback on vehicle emissions has direct implications for consumers, automakers and climate policy.
