As EPA Eyes Rollback, California Crafts Post-2025 Vehicle GHG Rules

摘要

California air regulators have begun scheduling meetings with automakers as part of their early efforts to develop greenhouse gas limits for post-2025 passenger vehicles, underscoring the state's resolve to forge ahead with its own aggressive rules to meet long-term GHG targets even as EPA eyes relaxing model year 2021-25 standards. California Air Resources Board (CARB) officials say they are focusing most of their attention on developing tighter GHG requirements for MY26 and later vehicles, though they are also threatening to withdraw from CARB's current agreement with EPA and the Transportation Department to enforce one set of vehicle GHG rules if federal officials move to weaken MY21-25 standards.
